Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, oil (or melted butter), and eggs until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cornbread to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm, with butter, honey, or your favorite spread
