My mother made this often and would typically serve with Chili. The next morning, she would toast the cornbread under the broiler and then smother it in butter. Delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached flour
- 1 tbs baking powder
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 4 tbs butter melted
Instructions
Sift the dry ingredients
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Place a wire sieve in a large mixing bowl, and measure the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cornmeal into the sieve. Then shake it to sift the ingredients to remove any lumps.
Finish the batter
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk to the eggs and whisk to combine.
- Add the egg and milk mixture to the dry ingredients and using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix until well blended.
- Add the melted butter, mix again until the butter is evenly incorporated into the batter.
- Pour into the baking pan, and smooth out the batter evenly in the pan.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a cake tester, inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan. Serve warm.
