We have a restaurant in Lexington called
DeSha's and they make THE BEST cornbread! When I was a kid and went there for the first time they served the cornbread complimentary with honey butter, seriously good! Now I think you have to order the cornbread and pay for it individually but it's still worth doing. There's a reason why this is a great recipe, lots of oil, butter and sour cream but I promise if you try it you won't be disappointed! This makes a great side dish for chili, soup or just about anything. Serving with honey butter is optional, but of course it makes it that much better.
Recipe:
3 cups self rising cornmeal
1/3 cup sugar
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
3 cups sour cream
2 cans cream corn
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in order listed; mix well. Pour into a greased 9-inch-x-13-inch pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. This cornbread bakes up very thick and makes a lot because you want to cut it into small squares. I often half the recipe and only use an 8x8 pan. I hope you haven't had a heart attack after seeing the ingredients - I told you there was a reason why it's delicious!
can you use muffin cups?
