Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 units large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, sour cream, and eggs until smooth and homogenous.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
