Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425ðF (218ðC). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan or a cast-iron skillet with shortening or butter.
  2. If you do not have sour milk, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to a measuring cup and fill with milk to the 1-cup mark. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it curdles slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly with a fork.
  4. Add the sour milk, sugar, cornmeal, and baking soda to the beaten egg.
  5. Stir the mixture vigorously and quickly until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the bread tough. Small lumps are okay.
  6. Pour the batter immediately into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. For cornbread muffins, pour the batter into 12 greased muffin cups instead. Bake at 425ðF (218ðC) for about 20 minutes.
  9. Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
