Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus more for greasing
2 cups yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
Directions
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 9 by 2-inch metal baking pan.
- Blend the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a processor for 5 seconds. Add the butter cubes. Blend until the butter is reduced to tiny pieces, 15 to 20 seconds. Whisk the buttermilk, sour cream and eggs in a large bowl to blend. Add the dry ingredients from the processor and stir until evenly moistened. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake the corn bread until the top is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool the bread on a rack at least 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
