Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups fine-ground white cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Homemade Baking Powder (see note)
1 3/4 cups soured milk or buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°
  • Mix the cornmeal, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Stir the milk into the beaten eggs, and pour over the dry ingredients in batches, stirring vigorously to make a smooth glossy batter.
  • Cut the butter into pieces and put it in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or baking pan. Put the skillet in the preheated oven, and heat until the butter is melted and foaming. Remove from the oven, and swirl the butter all around the skillet to coat the bottom and sides thoroughly. Pour the remaining melted butter into the cornbread batter, and stir well until the butter is absorbed into the batter. Turn the batter into the heated skillet, and put in the oven to bake for 30-40 minutes, until cornbread is golden brown and crusty on top and pulls away from the sides of the skillet.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven, and turn the cornbread out onto a plate. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges. Serve the cornbread while it is hot.

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Cooking spray
1 1/4 cup self-rising buttermilk cornmeal mix
One 15-ounce can creamed corn
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal mix, creamed corn, sour cream, oil and eggs. Pour the mixture into the skillet and bake until lightly brown, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Buttermilk and sour cream add moisture and richness to the cornbread. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Using fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use stone-ground cornmeal instead.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the cornbread. This will help it rise properly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cornbread tough.
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
  • Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk and sour cream cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, rich texture and slightly tangy flavor, this cornbread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
