Quick & Easy Low-Burden Cornbread

Cornbread A snack that's hard to resist Convenient, quick, low-calorie, and guilt-free When I'm busy with classes and have no time to cook or eat, I bring a few pieces of cornbread. Golden and soft, just a small piece is the warmest comfort after a hard day's work…

Ingredients

Cornmeal240g (2 cups)
Granulated sugar25g (2 tablespoons)
Salt1g
Egg (room temperature)1
Vegetable oil15ml (1 tablespoon)
Milk360ml (3/2 cups)
Baking powder10g (2 teaspoons)

Steps

1

Mix the cornmeal, milk, sugar, salt, vegetable oil, and egg evenly, then let the mixture sit for 20 minutes (you can add some corn kernels for a baked surprise and better taste). Note: Cornmeal's water absorption can vary depending on the brand, coarseness, origin, and season. Therefore, when adding the last 100ml of milk, do so gradually, adjusting as needed based on the situation. Cooking is for yourself, so preferences and circumstances differ—it's never one-size-fits-all. :)

Cooking Tips

This recipe makes enough for an 8-inch square pan. I usually skip the sugar, add bananas instead, and reduce the amount of milk. Even less guilt, right? Can't afford new clothes, you know? Serious face~
