Ingredients

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup butter
• 2 whole eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a microwave or on the stovetop and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then stir in the milk, sour cream, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing—the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, 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

Let the cornbread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or as a side to your favorite dish.
