Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Maple Cornbread

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square or 9-inch round pan.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
