Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet and set it aside.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the sourdough starter, milk, and melted butter, and mix until smooth.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it out evenly.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. Once baked, remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

  8. Serve the Sourdough Cornbread warm with butter or your favorite spread. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite.
