This basic cornbread is simple, with just the essential ingredients that give it that unforgettable flavor: a mixture of corn and wheat flour, butter, sour milk, a touch of sugar to bring out the corn's natural sweetness, eggs, milk, and baking powder. Traditionally baked in a cast-iron skillet, the cornbread is slightly sweet, with a pleasant creamy flavor, and pairs perfectly with savory main dishes, as well as for breakfast, perhaps with jam or honey.
