Ingredients
  

  • 5 tbsp Butter, divided
  • 1 cup Corn Flour (Preferably freshly milled popcorn)
  • 1 cup Soft White Wheat Flour, freshly milled
  • ¾ cup Honey Granules or Sucanat or White Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ¾ cup Buttermilk*
  • 2 tbsp Sour Cream
  • 2 Eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400° F. Place 1 tablespoon of butter into 8x8 pan and set inside the preheating oven. Watch butter so it doesn't burn, remove pan when melted.
    5 tbsp Butter, divided
  • In large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: corn flour, wheat flour, honey granules, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
    1 cup Corn Flour (Preferably freshly milled popcorn), 1 cup Soft White Wheat Flour, freshly milled, ¾ cup Honey Granules or Sucanat or White Sugar, 1 tbsp Baking Powder, 1 tsp Salt
  • Melt 4 Tbsp of butter in separate bowl, then whisk in other wet ingredients: buttermilk, sour cream, and lastly the eggs. (Be careful not to add cold eggs directly to melted butter or it will cook them.)
    5 tbsp Butter, divided, ¾ cup Buttermilk*, 2 tbsp Sour Cream, 2 Eggs
  • All at once, add wet ingredients to dry and mix until just incorporated.
  • Carefully remove hot pan from preheated oven. Pour batter into pan, do NOT stir. Place back into hot oven and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and serve warm. Keeps in the fridge for 3-5 days.

Notes

*If you don't have buttermilk, before you begin this recipe, measure 3/4 cup of milk and add 1 Tbsp. of lemon juice or vinegar. Let it sit 5-10 minutes. It will thicken slightly and work in a pinch but nothing replaces real buttermilk (sorry). You can also substitute plain Greek yogurt.
Cornbread is a staple for any southern meal. Serve this slice of heaven with grass-fed butter or topped with Southern Smoky One-Pot Lima Beans.
