Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the self-rising corn meal, sour cream, eggs, cream-style corn, Wesson oil, and chopped onions until well combined.
- Pour the batter into a 12-inch skillet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 35 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a slightly sweeter cornbread, consider adding a tablespoon of sugar or honey to the batter. If you don't have self-rising cornmeal, you can substitute regular cornmeal and add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. For a twist, try adding jalapeños or cheese for extra flavor. This cornbread pairs beautifully with Tomato Soup Salad(Cheese Ring).
Serving Suggestions
Serve Faye's Cornbread warm, drizzled with honey or butter for added richness. It makes a delicious side dish for chili or barbecued meats. For a complete meal, pair it with a fresh salad or a bowl of soup. This cornbread also complements well with dishes like Baked Cornbread or Coconut Candy Bar Cake for a delightful spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cornbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place slices in a toaster oven or microwave until warmed through, ensuring they remain moist. You can also wrap in foil and heat in the oven for a crispier texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this cornbread ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator before baking. Just stir well before pouring into the skillet. Alternatively, bake it ahead of time and reheat when ready to serve.
Can I substitute the sour cream?
Absolutely! You can use plain yogurt or buttermilk as a substitute for sour cream, which will still provide moisture and a slight tang to the cornbread. If using buttermilk, reduce the amount of Wesson oil slightly for best results.

Yes, Faye's Cornbread freezes well. Allow it to cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil before placing it in the freezer. It can be stored for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as desired.
