Cornbread is a subtly sweet bread that comes together in a snap and pairs perfectly with chilis and soups.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/3 cups milk

Instructions

  • Grease an 8-in. square baking pan and preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Measure the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and stir to combine.
  • In a smaller bowl, beat together the oil, egg and milk. Then, pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined. A few lumps are OK; resist the temptation to overbeat.
  • Pour batter into the baking pan, spreading so the top is even. Bake for about 20 min, or until a toothpick poked into the middle comes out clean.
  • Let cool for just a couple of min before cutting into squares, then serve while still warm.
