SOUR MILK CORN BREAD 
Corn Bread:

Corn bread just naturally goes with fried chicken, ham steaks and - well, just about everything else. Don't beat the batter; just mix it, and only until dry ingredients are moistened. Corn-meal products are somewhat coarse in texture and crumbly - and best when served piping-hot with butter and jam!

1 cup milk or diluted evaporated or sour milk
1 cup flour
1 cup yellow or white corn meal
1/4 cup shortening, melted
1 egg
2 tsps. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3 tbsps. sugar
1 tsp. salt

Sift flour; measure; add baking powder, salt and sugar. Sift again; add corn meal. Mix well. Combine egg, milk, and shortening. Pour into flour mixture and mix just enough to moisten dry ingredients. Do not beat. Turn into greased pan. Bake.

Time, Temp and Yield:

30-40 min.; 425°F; 8x8x2 pan

Sour Milk Corn Bread

 Holly (North Dakota) says:
This is a great recipe but I found that in my oven the baking time was severely different. I set my oven to 415°F and took the bread out at 23-25 minutes and it was well done, maybe a bit too done. The next time I make this recipe, I will set the timer for 20 minutes.

Good recipe but don't over bake. Recommended time is a bit too long. I cut down on the sugar and salt and used melted butter for the shortening and the texture and flavor was great! Super easy too and a great way to use sour milk in this hot summer.

When I found the milk had gone sour, I searched for a recipe and found this one. It's EXCELLENT! However, the baking time was way off. I baked my cornbread in a cast iron skillet, heated ahead of baking, dropped in some butter to grease the hot skillet before putting in the batter,and put it in the oven. Keeping an eye on it, I took it out of the oven at 20 minutes and it was perfect! Your oven might be slightly different, so you'll need to watch carefully the first time you use this recipe. Overall, though, I give this a big THUMBS-UP!
