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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan or a cast-iron skillet.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in buttermilk, melted butter, and sour cream until smooth.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Fold in the corn kernels (if using frozen corn, thaw and drain it first; if using canned corn, drain well).

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.
