Golden Cornmeal Bread
This easy homemade corn bread recipe comes out fluffy and perfect every time! It is the absolute best cornbread and a family favorite for years and years.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups milk or more as needed
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 4 tbsp butter melted, plus more for greasing the pan
- 1 1/2 cups cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375F. Heat the milk in the microwave until it reaches about 100F. It will be a little hotter than lukewarm water. Stir in the vinegar and let rest while you prepare the other ingredients. Grease a square baking pan with some butter.
- Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs into the soured milk. Stir the milk mixture into the dry ingredients just enough to combine everything. If the batter is very dry and doesn’t come together easily, add another 1 or 2 tablespoons milk.
- Add the 4 tablespoons butter and stir until just incorporated; avoid overmixing. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spread into an even layer, and put in the oven.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is lightly browned, the sides have pulled away from the pan, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cut into squares and serve hot or warm.
