How to Make Milk Fragrant Cornbread: A Simple Guide

Making soft, fragrant cornbread infused with milk is easier than you think. Here’s a step-by-step guide to this delightful treat.

Ingredients:

- 200g all-purpose flour

- 100g cornmeal

- 30g sugar

- 2 tsp baking powder

- 1 pinch of salt

- 250ml warm milk

- 1 egg

- 30g melted butter

Steps:

1. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

2. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg, then add warm milk and melted butter, stirring gently.

3. Blend mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones. Stir with a spatula until just mixed—don’t overmix to keep the bread tender.

4. Rest the batter: Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.

5. Steam or bake:

- Steaming method: Pour the batter into a greased mold. Steam over medium heat for 20-25 minutes.

- Baking method: Pour into a muffin tin and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15-18 minutes until golden.

6. Serve: Let it cool slightly. Enjoy the sweet, milky flavor with a soft, corn-rich texture!

Tips: For extra sweetness, add honey or a splash of vanilla. The bread stays fresh for 2 days in an airtight container. Perfect for breakfast or a snack!
