A delightful twist on the classic cornbread recipe, offering a moist and flavorful experience.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking and the perfect texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Whisking the dry ingredients helps distribute the baking powder evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter.
Ensure the butter is slightly cooled to avoid cooking the eggs.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cornbread tender.
Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and spread evenly.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check for doneness a few minutes early to prevent overbaking.
Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before serving.
Cooling helps the cornbread set and makes slicing easier.
