Notes
- Greek or plain yogurt can be used, I find the flavor of greek yogurt is sometimes too strong for this recipe. Sour cream can be substituted in place of yogurt.
- I have tested a few different soak times for the cornbread and 15 minutes is the minimum amount of time but you, of course, soak it longer, up to 30 minutes.
