Sour Cream Cornbread
Description
This cornbread recipe combines canola oil, sour cream, and creamed corn for moisture and tang, mixing in cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for structure and sweetness. Eggs bind the ingredients together, resulting in a batter baked in a cast iron skillet or baking pan at 375°F.
The baking time yields a light crust and tender insides, while the creamed corn adds subtle texture and sweetness. The sour cream not only adds moisture but also contributes a slight tanginess that balances the sweet and savory elements.
Sour Cream Cornbread pairs well with soups, chili, or as a standalone snack. The recipe allows for variations such as making muffins in a greased 12-cup muffin pan baked at higher temperature for a shorter time. Storage recommendations include keeping it at room temperature for a few days or refrigerated longer, with an option to freeze tightly wrapped.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup canola oil or vegetable oil
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 (15-ounce) can creamed corn
- 3 large egg
- ⅔ cup cornmeal yellow
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
- In a large bowl, stir the oil, sour cream, creamed corn, and eggs until well combined. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet, just until combined.
- Pour the mixture into a 10” cast iron skillet (or 9” square pan that you’ve sprayed with cooking spray). Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes.
Notes
- To double the recipe, use a 9x13 inch pan and adjust baking time accordingly.
- For muffins, bake at 425°F in a greased 12-count muffin pan for about 20 minutes.
- Store cooled cornbread covered at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the fridge for 5-7 days.
- Freeze wrapped cornbread tightly in plastic and foil for up to 3 months.
