Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups coarse cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet set over medium heat. Once it is fully melted, keep cooking it and stir often, until it turns brown, about 3 minutes. Pour it into the cake pan.
- Whisk the eggs with the milk in a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed. Add the egg mixture and stir just until the batter comes together.
- Pour the batter into the pan, then gently even out the surface. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the cornbread is golden and a cake tester comes out clean.
