Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk any kind
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 2 cups flour (gluten free if desired)
  • ¼ cup (scant) sugar
  • 2 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sour cream (yogurt works too)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 450° F.
  2. Grease bottom of large cast iron skillet. (Obviously, a 9x13" pan will work for this, but it has a better crust if cooked in cast-iron.)
  3. Mix milk, sour cream, butter, and eggs in a bowl large enough to hold the entire batter.
  4. Add dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. The batter will be lumpy.
  5. Pour into skillet.
  6. Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden and a knife stuck in the center comes out clean.

Notes

If using gluten-free flour, I add 2 tsps of xanthan gum.  
I decrease the sugar content and use this recipe in my waffle iron.  Cornbread waffles are terrific with chili!
