How to Make Old Fashioned Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup yellow cornmeal, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cool slightly before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
