Ingredients:

Fresh homemade skillet cornbread on a tablecloth, one slice is missing.

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Coat the bottom and side of a 10-inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray. 
  2. Whisk cornmeal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl to mix well. Whisk eggs lightly in a medium bowl. Whisk in milk, butter and sour cream until blended. 
  3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the milk mixture and stir just until combined. Fold in corn, okra, cheese and chilies, if using. Spread batter evenly in the skillet.
  4. Bake on the center rack in oven until top is golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Cool in the skillet on a wire rack 10 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
