Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease or spray an 8-inch square baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add milk, egg and oil. Beat until fairly smooth, about one minute.
- Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake for 20 to 23 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Muffins or Corn Sticks: Pour cornbread batter into greased or paper-lined muffin cups OR hot well-greased corn stick pans. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Yields 12.
Tex-Mex Cornbread: Stir 1 cup whole kernel corn, 2 tablespoons chopped green chiles and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder into the batter. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven; top with 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese.
Notes
When I’m out of milk, I use 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup evaporated milk. It is even better made this way (if that’s possible).
