Easy Cornbread Recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups canned creamed corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Place your oven rack in the middle, then heat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 9” x 13” pan and set it aside.
- Mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Combine the butter, corn, sour cream, milk, and eggs in a large bowl and whisk everything together until combined.
- Add the cornmeal to the butter and mix everything with a wooden spoon. The consistency should be similar to that of pancake batter. If it’s too thin, add more flour until the mixture thickens a little more.
- Pour the batter into the greased pan and place it in the oven. Reduce heat to 375°F immediately and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. (It may remain moist in the middle, which is perfectly fine.)
- Take the pan out of the oven when ready. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
