I saved this recipe on Pinterest over four years ago, always wanting to give it a try, I am so glad I finally did. This recipe is from A Cracking Good Egg Blog (Cracking Good Egg sited an Amish recipe site as the original source, however that site is no longer up and running).
What You Need to Make Amish Sour Cream Cornbread
Cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, sour cream, an egg, butter and milk.
How to Make Amish Sour Cream Cornbread
Preheat oven to 400 degrees f. and grease a 9×5 bread/loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, add all of the dry ingredients (cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt) and mix well using a whisk. Next, add wet ingredients (sour cream, egg, butter and milk), using a spoon, mix until just blended (do not over mix) then pour batter into baking pan spreading evenly.
Bake on middle rack of oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Be sure to check the bread using a toothpick in the center, making sure it comes out clean. Remove from oven, allow to cool for 10 minutes then remove from pan.
The magic to this amazing cornbread is the sour cream, it is so moist and tender with just a hint of sweetness. Even better, it’s simple to make. I was done mixing the dough before my oven was pre-heated. I love easy recipes that deliver on taste and are a cinch to make. This is sure to be on regular rotation.
