1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Generously butter an 8- or 9-inch baking dish or skillet.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, and salt. Stir these ingredients together until well blended.
3. Mix Milk and Egg
In a separate 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together the milk and egg.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients and pour the milk and egg mixture into it. Stir everything together until you have a smooth, well-mixed batter.
5. Add Melted Butter and Pour Batter
Stir in the melted butter to the batter. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake the Cornbread
Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool slightly before serving.
