Ingredients

• 0.25 cup unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated. Then, add the milk and sour cream, whisking until smooth.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.

Step 5

Fold in the grated cheddar cheese and chopped dill, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cornbread to cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
