Southern Soul Food Cornbread

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup cornmeal (medium grind)

⅔ cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

4 tablespoons butter (unsalted)

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 tablespoon sugar (granulated)

⅔ cup cream cheese (softened or whipped)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the butter in an 8-inch baking pan or skillet and melt in the oven for approximately 5 minutes.

While the butter is melting, combine the dry ingredients (cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar) with the cream cheese and heavy cream in a medium-size mixing bowl.

Pour the melted butter from the skillet or baking pan into the mixing bowl and mix all the ingredients until thoroughly combined and smooth.

Pour the cornbread batter into the baking pan or skillet.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until the cornbread's edges are crisp and the top is golden. (You can insert a toothpick into the center of the bread and then pull it out. The cornbread is not fully cooked if the toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.)

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes to make slicing easier. After resting, slice, serve, and enjoy!
