Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease your baking dish or skillet lightly. This helps prevent sticking and gives a nice crust.

In a large bowl, add cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix well using a whisk so everything is evenly combined.

In another bowl, add milk, eggs, melted butter and sour cream. Whisk until smooth and creamy. This mixture gives moisture and richness.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until combined. Do not overmix. The batter should be slightly thick but smooth.

Pour the batter into your prepared dish or skillet. Spread it evenly using a spatula so it bakes evenly on all sides.

Place the dish in the oven. Bake for 18–22 minutes. The top should turn golden and a toothpick should come out clean.

Insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, your cornbread is ready. If not, bake for a few more minutes.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes. This helps the cornbread set and makes slicing easier.

Cut into squares or wedges. Serve warm for the best taste. The inside will be soft and fluffy.

Serve with butter or honey on top. Enjoy your homemade cornbread with your favorite meal or as a snack.
