Amish Sour Cream Cornbread is a moist, tender cornbread with a subtle sweetness and rich flavor from sour cream. It’s easy to make in one bowl and pairs perfectly with soups, stews, or simply butter and honey.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 9 squares

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a square baking pan or cast iron skillet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in sour cream, milk, and melted butter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add shredded cheddar cheese or chopped jalapeños.
  • A spoonful of honey can enhance the sweetness.
  • Use Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream if needed.
  • Can be made in a muffin tin—bake 15–18 minutes.
  • Store at room temp for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
