Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated. Then, add the milk and sour cream, whisking until smooth.
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.
Fold in the grated cheddar cheese and chopped dill, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
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.
Allow the cornbread to cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
