Ingredients

For the Cornbread

  • ⅔ cup butter softened
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1⅔ cups milk
  • 2⅓ cups flour
  • 1 cup corn meal
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9 x 13 pan with butter.
  • In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar together until smooth. Beat in the eggs. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, corn meal, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add half the flour mixture to the egg mixture and beat to combine. Add the milk, beat again, and then add the remaining dry ingredients.
  • Stir again, just until combined. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 23-25 minutes. When the cornbread is very lightly browned on the edges and cracked in the center, it is done. Serve the cornbread warm with a generous amount of butter.

Notes

This cornbread can also be baked in (2) 8-inch square pans for about 20 minutes.
