How to Make Foolproof Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 8-inch square baking pan or 12 muffin cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup milk, ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan or muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes for muffins, or 25-30 minutes for the 8-inch square pan, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
