Cornbread

Ingredients for 9 portions
1 ½ cups of cornmeal
1 ½ cups of flour
2 Tbs. of brown sugar
1 Tbs. of baking powder
1 Tsp. of salt
1 egg lightly beaten
1 cup of milk
1 ¼ cups of sour cream
1/3 cup of corn oil, plus some extra to brush the skillet

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush the skillet with some oil. In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients and set aside. In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, sour cream and oil. Fold into the flour mixture and add the corn. Do not over mix. Pour into the prepared skillet. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Transfer the skillet to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes. Cut into squares,
