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
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup corn kernels (frozen, canned, or fresh)
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan or a cast-iron skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in buttermilk, melted butter, and sour cream until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if a few lumps remain.
Fold in the corn kernels (if using frozen corn, thaw and drain it first; if using canned corn, drain well).
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
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.
Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey, if desired.
