Yields one loaf

Ingredients

• 1 cup (120g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
• 1 cup (156g) yellow cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
• 1 cup (227g) milk, whole, skim or 2%, your choice
• 1/4 cup (71g) maple syrup
• 4 tablespoons (57g) butter, melted
• 2 large eggs

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Lightly grease or oil an 8" x 8" square or 9" round baking pan.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt until thoroughly combined.
3. In a small bowl, or in a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, melted butter and eggs.
4. Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake the cornbread for about 20 to 25 minutes, until it's lightly browned and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Serve warm, or store, covered, for 3 days at room temperature. Freeze for up to a month.
