Today I’m sharing this Sour Cream Cornbread Recipe that I’ve been making for over 16 years now! It’s a versatile recipe that can be served with your favorite soup, chili, Mexican meal, or even breakfast! Having leftovers for breakfast is my favorite!
Cook’s Tools – Sour Cream Cornbread:
- 8-inch pan (I use this pan because it comes with a lid. It helps storing leftover cornbread so easy!)
- large mixing bowl
- large measuring cup
- small spatula (This is great for getting pieces of cornbread out of the pan. It’s also perfect for removing cookies from cookie sheets).
Sour Cream Cornbread
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1/3 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup sour cream 1/2 pint
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square pan, and set aside.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Beat together the wet ingredients in a large measuring cup, and add to the dry ingredients. Stir until all of the ingredients are just combined.
- Pour into your prepared pan, and dot the top with small pads of butter.
- Bake 20-25 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Made this cornbread today and it is amazing. Will probably become my main recipe for cornbread. I never add flour, sugar, or sour cream, but I like it. It comes out so soft and delicious.

Corn bread was almost an every night occurrence at my grandmothers house.In fact,I still have her black cast iron skillet that I bake mine in.
Not only is it so good with melting butter on and in your slice,it’s also very good cold with milk poured in it as a snack.
I’ve used a few different recipes and am looking forward to trying this one out.

Very good cornbread, and easy to throw together, as are all cornbread recipes. Because of the current isolation situation, I used what I had n hand, which meant plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It turned out wonderfully. Thanks for a great recipe!
Jillian
So glad Greek yogurt worked in this recipe for you! Thanks for stopping by!
