Equipment

Hand-held or stand mixer with a mixing bowl
8"x8" glass baking dish

Ingredients

1 cup yellow cornmeal medium grind
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons butter unsalted
1 cup creamed corn canned or homemade
⅔ cup cream cheese softened or whipped
1 tablespoon granulated sugar optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the butter in an 8×8 baking dish (or similar size) and melt in the oven for approximately 5 minutes.
While the butter is melting, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, creamed corn, cream cheese, and optional sugar in a medium-sized mixing bowl until well combined.
Pour the melted butter from the baking dish into the mixing bowl and mix again.
Pour the cornbread batter into the baking pan or skillet.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until the cornbread's edges are crisp and the top is golden. (To check if the cornbread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, it's ready.)
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes to make slicing easier. After resting, slice, serve, and enjoy!
