Step-by-Step Instructions for Best Moist Cornbread
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your ingredients.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated white sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add garlic and onion powder if using.
  3. Pour in the milk, crack in the eggs, and drizzle the vegetable oil. Mix gently until just combined; the batter should be lumpy.
  4. Lightly butter an 8"x8" baking dish and pour the batter into it, spreading evenly.
  5. Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown. A toothpick in the center should come out clean.
  6. Let the cornbread cool in the dish for about 10 minutes before slicing.
