Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature. This helps create a more consistent bread texture.
- Measure the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder into the bread machine's baking pan. Use dry measuring cups for accurate measurements.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vegetable oil until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bread machine pan with the dry ingredients. Ensure the liquid ingredients are evenly distributed across the dry ingredients.
- Place the baking pan into the bread machine, making sure it is securely locked into position.
- Select the "Quick Bread" or "Cake" setting on your bread machine. This setting typically does not require kneading or rising time.
- Choose a medium crust setting for optimal golden-brown color and texture.
- Close the bread machine lid and start the baking cycle.
- Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts, as it will be very hot.
- Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing and transferring to a wire rack.
- Slice and serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite accompaniment.
Tips
- • Always use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture • Measure dry and wet ingredients precisely for the best results • Don't open the bread machine lid during baking to maintain consistent temperature • For extra flavor, consider adding optional mix-ins like jalapeños, cheese, or corn kernels • Let the cornbread cool slightly before slicing to help it maintain its structure • Store leftover cornbread in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven or toaster for best taste • Serve warm with butter, honey, or as a side to chili, soups, or barbecue dishes
