Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease your cast iron skillet or baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well until it’s combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth and uniform.
- Pour the wet mixture into your dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; a few lumps are okay!
- If you’re adding bacon, sausage, or green onions, fold them into the mixture now.
- Pour the batter into your prepared skillet, spreading it evenly for a consistent bake.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Store leftover cornbread tightly wrapped in plastic or in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freeze slices with parchment paper in between for easy thawing.
