Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour A key base for structure and texture.
  • 1 cup cornmeal Adds a delightful crunch and corny flavor.
  • 1/4 cup sugar Balances the savory elements and enhances sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Provides leavening for a light, fluffy cornbread.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors in the cornbread.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup sour cream Adds moisture and a tangy richness.
  • 2 large eggs Bind the ingredients together and add richness.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter Adds flavor and moisture; use melted for easy mixing.
  • 1/4 cup milk Helps achieve the perfect batter consistency.

Equipment

  • 1 8-inch square baking dish or round cake pan Greased with butter or non-stick spray

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure your cornbread bakes evenly and gets that lovely golden crust.
Step 2: Prepare the Baking Dish
  1. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a round cake pan with a little butter or non-stick spray. This will help your cornbread slide right out.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This is where the magic begins!
Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients
  1. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the sour cream and melted butter. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
Step 6: Pour into Baking Dish
  1. Carefully pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7: Bake
  1. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
  1. Once baked, remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it up and enjoy warm, perhaps with a pat of butter on top!
