Sour Cream Sourdough Cornbread image

This is one of the Zaar recipes that I adopted. I prepared this recipe exactly as it was originally submitted and it made a nice change from the cornbread recipe that I usually make. This is an excellent recipe for using up sourdough starter if you don't have time to prepare the traditional sourdough bread. I hope you'll enjoy this as much as my family did!

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your cornbread turns out moist and flavorful.
Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cornbread tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
Let the batter rest for a few minutes before baking: This will allow the cornmeal to absorb the moisture from the other ingredients.
Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: This will help create a crispy crust and a moist interior.
Serve the cornbread warm: Cornbread is best enjoyed warm out of the oven. However, it can also be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
