The best easy cornbread recipe that's just the right balance of crumbly and fluffy. A pre-heated cast-iron skillet gives this cornbread a fabulous crispy crust. Cornbread muffin option too!
How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 1 1/4 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/4 cups cornmeal
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour (we use gluten-free)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick butter, melted (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 eggs, whisked
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place 1 (9 inch) seasoned cast iron pan (we like this one) in the oven to preheat. Alternatively, use a lined or silicon muffin tin (no need to preheat).
- Step 2: Combine the milk and lemon juice in a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until curdled.
- Step 3: Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl: the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the wet ingredients: the milk mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until just combined.
- Step 4: Carefully take out the pre-heated skillet (the handle will be hot!). Pour in the cornbread batter. You'll hear the batter sizzle as it makes contact with the pan. Alternatively, pour this into muffin tins 3/4 of the way to the top.
- Step 5: Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Serve: Cool before cutting into wedges. Perfect with a smear of butter. Freezes well.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Want to give your cornbread a more intense, golden color? Try replacing 1 teaspoon of the butter with 1 teaspoon of sustainable red palm oil (we use this one).
