Donna's Delicious Corn Bread

Steve and I met Donna last week, she was a school cafeteria cook in her former life, and she just kept feeding us all of these wonderful foods. We were able to wrangle this corn bread recipe from her and with a little help from me in starting a blog, Nana's Kitchen, I can see what else she has up her sleeve.

I did a little calculating to see which recipe for corn bread, Quaker's vs. Donna's, was better for me as far as calories. Quaker's calls for milk (1%) and oil, Donna's sour cream (fat free) and buttermilk and if you cut up the corn bread into 9 pieces Quaker corn bread is 200 calories and Donna's corn bread is 177 calories per serving. Donna you win!

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn meal
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream, fat free
1 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 9 inch pan. Combine dry ingredients together. Mix all wet ingredients together, stir into dry just until dry ingredients are moist. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 30 minutes or until light golden brown and wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
