How to Make Rich Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and oil.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until the batter is moist and combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
  7. Let the cornbread cool in the pan for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
