Notes
- Leftover cornbread stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days and can be frozen for longer keeping.
- Warm leftovers briefly in the microwave with butter and a drizzle of raw honey for best flavor and texture.
- Sour cream and Greek yogurt can be used interchangeably; sour cream can also replace milk if needed.
- The recipe yields about 9 to 12 servings depending on slice size.
