Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8-inch square pan with oil.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, stir the milk, oil, and egg until well-blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir until combined. Pour the batter into the greased pan.

Step 5

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the surface has browned slightly, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean.

Step 6

Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm. Enjoy!

Step 7

When doubling the recipe, use a 9x13-inch pan and bake as instructed.

Step 8

To make muffins, spoon the batter into a greased muffin tin. Fill each cup 2/3 full. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. The recipe yields 10 to 12 muffins.
