Glady's Famous Cornbread

Submitted by litldarlin

"This cornbread recipe is straight from my Grandmothers restaurant. My grandparents owned and operated a small family-style restaurant in the 50's in Northwest Indiana."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 10-12

ingredients

• 1 cup sour cream

• 1⁄3 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1⁄3 cups yellow cornmeal

directions

1. Mix together thoroughly.
2. Pour into either an 8x8-inch pan, or you can use a greased 10-inch cast iron skillet like I do. This works really great.

I'm sure this was a popular item on Gladys' menu! This would be a great side to chili, ham steak or fried fish! I melted the butter in an iron skillet in the oven while preheating, used white corn meal (all on hand) and added an extra tablespoon of sugar. Wonderful texture and a great cornbread for anyone likes their cornbread without sweetness. Thank you, Melody Ashcraft!

I would definitely say Grandma knows what she is doing. Served as a side with catfish and collard greens. Easy recipe and so good hot out of the oven with butter and honey. MMMMM! Thank you Melody and Melody's grandma!
