The “secret ingredient” keeps this cornbread moist, never dry or gritty.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour – all-purpose or gluten free flour blend
  • 1 cup corn meal
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup sour cream

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F and lightly grease a 8″x8″ square baking dish or 9 inch round pan.

Blend dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

Mix in softened butter. Blend in milk, sour cream and egg. Beat until moist. Pour the batter into prepared pan and place in preheated oven. Bake around 30-35 minutes, until surface starts to crack and edges pull away from pan.

If you are using heavy glass bakeware, it may take 5 – 10 minutes longer. A toothpick inserted near the center of the bread should test dry when it is done.

Notes

Enjoy warm or at room temperature with butter, baked beans, soup or meal of your choice.
