Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Step 3

Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated. Stir in the sour cream and whole milk until the wet ingredients are well mixed.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm, or let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
