Introduction

Amish Sour Cream Cornbread is a comforting, old-fashioned recipe known for its rich, moist texture
and slightly sweet flavor. The addition of sour cream makes this cornbread extra tender and delicious,
perfect for family meals or gatherings.

Description

This cornbread is soft, fluffy, and buttery with a delicate crumb. Unlike traditional dry cornbread,
this version stays moist thanks to the sour cream. It pairs perfectly with soups, stews, or can be
enjoyed on its own with butter and honey.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking pan or skillet.
2. In a large bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, milk, and melted butter.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Tips

• Use a cast-iron skillet for a crispier edge.
• Avoid overmixing to keep the texture soft.
• Add corn kernels or cheese for extra flavor.
• Serve warm for the best taste.

Correction (Common Mistakes)

• Too dry: Overbaked—check earlier next time.
• Too dense: Batter was overmixed.
• Too crumbly: Not enough moisture—measure sour cream correctly.
• Undercooked center: Oven not properly preheated.
