How to make Cornbread for Two

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Grease a 6-inch square cake pan well and set aside. Click for a 6” square cake pan or a silicone muffin pan.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the melted butter, milk, and egg yolk. Stir just until combined and only a few lumps remain.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for 25 – 30 minutes until the top is a deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For muffins, fill greased muffin cups 3/4 full and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Serve warm and enjoy!
