Southern Sides Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish or cast-iron skillet.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the corn kernels, chopped green onions, and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm as a side dish to complement your main course.
