Notes
-
- Room temperature ingredients (such as sour cream and eggs) blend more smoothly and easily than cold ingredients.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before baking, if you have the time. This allows the leavening agents to activate and incorporate more air.
- Don’t over-mix the batter or it will become tough and dense.
- The total baking time will vary depending on the type of pan that you use, and on your individual oven. To check if the cornbread is done, insert a toothpick into the center and make sure it comes out clean.
- If the top of the cornbread starts to get too dark before it’s done baking, cover loosely with foil.
- Use full-fat sour cream. It adds a subtle tangy flavor, it keeps the muffins moist, and it yields a tender crumb.
- Cornbread Muffins with Creamed Corn: turn this batter into muffins! Bake standard-size muffins in a 400°F oven for about 17-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Jalapeño and Cheese: add 1-2 chopped jalapeño peppers to the batter, along with 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese. Omit the honey for a less-sweet taste.
- Green Chiles: stir 1 small can of diced green chilies into the batter. Add some cheese, too! To make the cornbread more savory, omit the honey.
- Blueberry: fold 1 ½ cups of fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter.
- Cranberry: add 1 cup of dried sweetened cranberries or 1 ½ cups of chopped fresh cranberries into the batter. For a hint of orange, try adding the zest from 1 orange, too!
