Practical Woman’s Sour Cream Cornbread

Ingredients

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.25 cup butter (melted)
• 2 eggs (large)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F.

2. 2

   Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.

3. 3

   Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk the sour cream, milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.

5. 5

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until no dry streaks remain.

6. 6

   Spread the batter evenly in the prepared dish.

7. 7

   Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

8. 8

   Cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Practical tip: Stop mixing as soon as the batter comes together; overmixing can make the cornbread dense instead of soft and tender.
