We’re doing it without buttermilk! This easy recipe is perfect for anyone looking to whip up a delicious treat in no time. Let’s get this cornbread party started!

What You’ll Need:

Gather your magical ingredients, and let’s get this party started:

Delicious cornbread melting with butter - 1 cup cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour
1⁄4 cup sugar (because who doesn’t like a little sweetness?)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon salt (to make it taste like real food)
1 cup milk (or any ole’ milk you have lying around)
2 large eggs (it’s party time for the eggs)
1/4 cup vegetable oil (for that sizzle, baby!)

Instructions to Cornbread Perfection:

Alright, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty of making this cornbread sensational:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (that’s 200°C for our international friends). We want that heat cranking so we can bake this beauty perfectly.
In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Get a whisk in hand and channel your inner chef – mix it up like you’re trying to impress someone!
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vegetable oil. Make sure it’s all nice and frothy - we’re going for fun, not a workout!
Now, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones. Stir together until combined, but don’t overdo it! We want to keep it light and airy, not tough and chewy.
Grease your skillet (or baking dish) well, and pour that scrumptious batter in! Now it’s time for some oven magic!
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. While you wait, you can do a little dance – you know, just to celebrate the cornbread revolution occurring in your kitchen.
Once it’s done, pull it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, slice it up, add some butter (if you dare!), and enjoy your cornbread masterpiece!

So there you have it – a recipe that will make your taste buds sing and your belly dance! Serve it with a side of chili, or just snack on it like it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Happy cornbreading!
