here’s nothing quite like the warm, buttery taste of Homemade Cornbread. Whether served alongside a hearty bowl of chili, a plate of BBQ ribs, or simply enjoyed on its own, cornbread is a timeless classic that’s easy to make and universally loved. I found this foolproof recipe on I Wuv Cooking, and it’s quickly become a staple in my kitchen. With its golden crust and fluffy interior, it’s everything you want in a homemade cornbread.

Homemade Cornbread: A Classic Recipe for Every Occasion

Why This Recipe Stands Out

This recipe balances the perfect blend of sweetness and cornmeal texture, resulting in cornbread that’s moist but not dense. Whether you prefer it savory or slightly sweet, this versatile recipe can be easily customized to suit your taste.

Homemade Cornbread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust for sweetness preference)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a square baking pan or cast-iron skillet to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
4. Make the Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
5. Bake the Cornbread: Pour the batter into the prepared pan or skillet, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve: Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
