Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 4 teaspoons vegetable oil (divided)
Instructions:
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk them together until they are well-blended, creating a light, fluffy dry mixture.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly. Add 1/4 cup of milk and whisk until fully combined. Stir in 3 teaspoons of the vegetable oil, mixing until the ingredients are well-integrated.
-
Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until the batter is moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the cornbread.
-
Heat the Skillet: Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a heavy 8-inch skillet over low heat. Make sure the oil coats the bottom of the skillet evenly to prevent sticking.
-
Cook the Cornbread: Once the skillet is hot, pour the batter into the skillet. Spread it out evenly with a spatula. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes. The cornbread should start to puff up and become golden around the edges.
-
Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the cornbread over using a spatula. Cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown and the center is set.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the skillet from the heat and let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy this easy, delicious treat!
