Masa Harina Cornbread

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the butter in a 9x9-inch square glass baking dish and put in the oven to melt. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn!
2. 2
   Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
3. 3
   Measure out the milk and maple syrup in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup. Add eggs and whisk well with a fork. Gradually add melted butter to the milk mixture, making sure to leave 2 tablespoons in the bottom of the baking dish.
4. 4
   Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk just until the flour is all moistened.
5. 5
   Scrape the batter into the buttered baking dish and spread it out with a spatula. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are beautifully golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. 6
   Serve hot with butter and maple syrup.
