Cornbread

 

Cooking spray to grease pan

1/4

cup butter or margarine (1/2 stick)

1

cup milk

1

large egg

1 1/4

cups yellow, white or blue cornmeal

1

cup all-purpose flour

1/2

cup granulated sugar

1

tablespoon baking powder

1/2

teaspoon salt

• 1 Heat the oven to 400°F. Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square pan or 9-inch round cake pan with the cooking spray.
• 2 In a 1-quart saucepan, heat the butter over low heat until melted.
• 3 In a large bowl, beat the melted butter, milk and egg with a fork or wire whisk until well mixed. Add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt all at once; stir just until the flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Pour batter into the pan; use a rubber spatula to scrape batter from bowl. Spread batter evenly in pan and smooth top of batter.
• 4 Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
