Prep an 8x8 inch square pan by rubbing with butter or coconut oil.
Combine yogurt, milk, and vinegar. Mix and set aside.
Combine cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat, melt your butter.
Once melted, remove from heat and stir in sugar. Whisk until well blended.
Next, quickly add your eggs and beat until well incorporated.
Add in milk mixture and stir.
Next add your cornmeal mixture and beat until very few lumps remain.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center to test for doneness. If it comes out clean the cornbread is ready!
Place on a wire cooling rack and allow to cool before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Leftover cornbread can absolutely be frozen for later (woot) or stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days. I like to microwave leftover cornbread for a few seconds and spread with butter and a drizzle of raw honey. Warm and melty - yum!Sour cream and Greek yogurt work interchangeably here. In a pinch, when I'm out of milk I've even used sour cream in place of the milk and it works oh so wonderful!Nutrition Facts below are estimated for 9 servings using an online recipe nutrition calculator.
