Ingredients

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup sour cream

½ cup milk

¼ cup butter, melted

2 large eggs

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

In a large bowl, whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, mix sour cream, milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients; stir gently until just combined (do not overmix).

Pour batter into prepared baking dish and smooth top.

Bake 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese for cheesy cornbread.

Stir in ½ cup corn kernels for extra sweetness and texture.

Mix in 1–2 chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.

Substitute gluten-free flour for an easy gluten-free version.

Use stone-ground cornmeal for a traditional coarse texture.
