Judy's Best Cornbread

Judy Graham created this luscious southern-style cornbread. Use fresh corn when it's in season, but know that niblet-style canned corn tastes just fine here. You could bake off the bread an hour ahead, wrap in foil, and reheat it.

Ingredients
 

• 2 large eggs

• 8-ounce container sour cream

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1 2/3 cups corn kernels (canned niblet corn, or from 3 fresh ears)

• 1 1/4 cups coarse-ground cornmeal (organic if possible)

• 3/4 cup all-purpose unbleached flour

• 3 tablespoons sugar

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 3/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square pan. In a medium bowl beat together the eggs, sour cream, and milk until smooth. Stir in the corn. In a bigger bowl, stir together the rest of the ingredients to thoroughly blend.

2. Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients only long enough to moisten them - the batter will be a little lumpy. Scrape it into the pan and bake about 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the cornbread comes out with a few dry-looking streaks. Serve hot.
