Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal *use regular yellow cornmeal, such as Quaker or Wilkins Rogers Mills stone-ground yellow cornmeal. Avoid coarse cornmeal or polenta.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned into the measuring cup and leveled off
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
  • 1 can (14.75 oz) of creamed corn, may also be labeled as "cream style corn"
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease an 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, creamed corn, and melted butter. Mix until fully combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until no flour remains.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 25–35 minutes, until golden, risen, and set in the center. This is an ultra moist cornbread, so a toothpick inserted into the center should come out dry, and clean. Underbaking will leave you with a soggy, gummy center.
  • Allow the cornbread to cool for 15 minutes before cutting.

Notes

  • For a drier, more savory cornbread, cut the sugar in half.
  • Use the entire can of creamed corn, liquid included.
  • Let cool at least 15 minutes before slicing.
