This New England-style cornbread pairs especially well with a warm bowl of chili or soup. Alternatively, for a sweet snack, we enjoy ours spread with honey or pumpkin butter.
STEP ONE – Preparations
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Lightly spray an 8×8-inch metal pan with canola spray.
- Get out a large bowl and a medium bowl.
- Set up a cooling rack.
STEP TWO – Make the Batter
Ingredients:
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup cornmeal
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 large egg plus 1 egg white
1 cup milk
¼ cup canola oil
Instructions:
- In the large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In the medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy.
- Add the egg yolk, milk, and oil and whisk well.
- Add the wet to the dry ingredients and stir to incorporate without overmixing.
STEP THREE – Bake the Bread
- Pour the batter into the pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cornbread on the cooling rack for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the pan and cool for another 10 minutes.
- Cut into 9 pieces, add your favorite spread, and enjoy!

It really is! We definitely prefer a lighter, moister consistency to a heavier, breadier one and found that in this particular recipe.

Thanks! It’s all about getting the edges slightly browned without overbaking the bread.

That looks so tasty! I’ve always categorized cornbread as more of a cake like banana bread. Too delicious to be just bread.

We agree! Though cornbread can be eaten with a savory meal, we definitely consider it a sweet bread and would choose it over regular bread in a heartbeat!
