How to Make Custard Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place 2 tablespoons of butter in a 9-inch square baking pan. Heat in the preheated oven until the butter is melted and coats the bottom of the pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 2 large eggs, and ½ cup buttermilk.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the prepared baking pan.
  7. Carefully pour 1 cup of milk evenly over the top of the batter. Do not stir.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cornbread is golden brown.
