Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 large RealSweet® onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup unbleached flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF (230°C) and spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the sweet onion until tender - but not browned - for about 3 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the onions, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, egg, milk, sour cream, ½ cup of the cheese and the salt and pepper.
- Stir well to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the pan and top with the remaining ½ cup of cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes and check for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread. If it comes out clean, the cornbread is ready!
- Allow the bread to cool slightly before cutting it into squares. We suggest serving it warm.
