Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Grease a 9-inch round cake pan, square baking dish, or cast iron skillet and set aside.  

In a bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Create a well in the center; add oil or butter, milk, and egg. Stir gently until just combined with some lumps.

Pour into the pan and bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy hot! I serve this cornbread with melted butter and drizzle honey on top too. Enjoy!
