Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Oven Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking
powder, and salt. - Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, sour cream,
and vanilla extract until smooth. - Step 4: Make the Batter Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the

a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Step 7: Cool and Serve Allow the cornbread to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite meal.
