Craving homemade cornbread without the hassle? It's a timeless comfort food, loved for its golden crust, soft texture and rich flavor.

Whether you're pairing it with a hearty stew or enjoying it as a snack, this recipe is here to prove that simple ingredients can create amazing results.

You'll need self-rising cornmeal mix, milk and a sweetener like sugar or honey. Measure them out based on your desired serving size.

Prep Your Ingredients

Any type of milk works for this recipe. Regular milk adds creaminess, buttermilk gives a tangy flavor and non-dairy options keep it vegan-friendly.

Choosing Your Milk

Combine the cornmeal mix, milk and sweetener in a large bowl. Stir until the batter is smooth with no lumps remaining.

Mix It All Together

Set your oven to 400°F. While it heats up lightly grease a baking dish or cast-iron skillet to prevent sticking.

Preheat Oven

Pour the batter into the prepared pan spreading it evenly to ensure it bakes consistently.

Pour and Spread

Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Bake

Let the cornbread cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set and makes it easier to handle.

Cool Before Serving

With just three ingredients and a few easy steps you've made soft golden cornbread. Pair it with soups, stews or enjoy it on its own.
