Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 425ðF (220ðC).
-
Lightly grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan with shortening or butter, or grease 12 muffin cups if making muffins.
-
In a large mixing bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly with a whisk or fork.
-
Stir in the sour milk, sugar, cornmeal, baking soda, and corn bread mix into the beaten egg.
-
Mix vigorously and quickly until just combined; do not overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan or muffin cups.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes for the square pan, or about 20 minutes for muffins, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving warm.
