Cornbread
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
- 1 1/4 cups lukewarm milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, cooled
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9" square or round pan (a cast-iron skillet will work fine, too), shallow 1 1/2 quart casserole dish, or 12 muffin cups.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vegetable oil, and egg.
- Pour the liquid all at once into the flour mixture, stirring quickly and gently until just combined. Don't over mix: stir the batter just enough to bring it together and evenly moisten the ingredients.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan, or scoop into the muffin tin.
- Bake the bread for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges just begin to pull away from the pan and a cake tester or paring knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and cool it on a rack for 5 minutes before cutting; serve warm.
- Store any leftovers, well wrapped, at cool room temperature for a few days; freeze for longer storage.

Recipe from King Arthur website. Added 2 cobs worth of fresh corn kernels, worked well. Added extra milk as batter seemed dry, but bread was very crumbly so next time stick to recipe. Recipe also suggested scallions or chives and shredded Cheddar as mix ins.
