Ingredients

For the Batter

1 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour Can substitute with any all-purpose flour for a similar result.
1 cup Yellow Cornmeal Can use white cornmeal if preferred for a milder taste.
2 tablespoons Baking Powder Ensure it’s fresh for optimal results; check expiration date.
1 teaspoon Table Salt Can substitute with sea salt, but adjust quantity to taste.
1 cup Milk (whole, skim, or 2%) Can use non-dairy milk for a lactose-free version.
1/2 cup Maple Syrup Honey or agave syrup can be used if needed.
1/4 cup Butter (melted) Can use a plant-based butter for a dairy-free option.
2 large Eggs Flax eggs can be used for a vegan alternative (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water = 1 egg).

Jalapeños Add some heat and excitement to your cornbread.
Cheese Incorporate shredded cheese for added richness and flavor.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Maple Cornbread

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease an 8-inch square or a 9-inch round baking pan.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and eggs until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; aim for a slightly lumpy batter.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
Once baked, cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm.
