How to Make Custard Filled Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter an 8-inch baking dish and place it in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter and 3 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 cup (240ml) milk, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar. Beat well to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1 cup (125g) cornmeal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the preheated baking dish.
  7. Carefully pour 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream into the center of the batter. Do not stir.
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the cornbread comes out clean and the top is lightly browned.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
