Awesome Sweet Cornbread

This is my new favorite cornbread.  It is soooo amazingly delicious.  Very moist and slightly sweet.  My husband and I couldn’t quit eating it!!

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups whole milk
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease an 9-inch square baking pan.

Combine flour, sugar, corn meal, baking powder and salt in medium bowl.  Combine milk, eggs, oil and butter in small bowl and mix well.  Add to flour mixture and stir just until blended.

Pour into baking pan.  Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean.

Serves 9 to 12.

*For corn muffins, spoon batter into muffin cups 2/3 full.  Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean.  Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans.
