Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 425ðF (218ðC). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan or a cast-iron skillet with shortening or butter.
-
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.
-
In a large mixing bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly with a fork.
-
Add the sour milk, sugar, cornmeal, and baking soda to the beaten egg.
-
Stir the mixture vigorously and quickly until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the bread tough. Small lumps are okay.
-
Pour the batter immediately into the prepared pan.
-
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.
-
For cornbread muffins, pour the batter into 12 greased muffin cups instead. Bake at 425ðF (218ðC) for about 20 minutes.
-
Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
