Down-Home Cornbread

This recipe serves:  12

nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 large eggs,room temperature
1 1/4 cups low-fat milk,room temperature
8 tablespoons (one stick) unsalted butter, melted
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat a 9" x 9" pan with nonstick spray.

2. Sift the flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. (This can be done the night before and kept covered on the counter.)

3. Stir in the eggs, milk and butter with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Do not overmix.
