Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish to ensure your cornbread comes out easily while maintaining its beautiful shape.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well incorporated, ensuring each component is evenly distributed.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, melted butter, and eggs until everything is well mixed. This liquid mixture is what will bring tremendous moisture and flavor to the cornbread.
-
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; avoid over-mixing, as this could make the cornbread tough rather than tender.
-
Carefully pour the batter into your greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly to ensure it bakes uniformly, producing a tremendous texture throughout.
-
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean to indicate it’s ready—this ensures a soft yet firm cornbread.
-
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This waiting period allows the flavors to settle, making each bite even more satisfying.
