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!
