Instructions
- Prepare the Oven:

Step 1- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan (or similar size casserole dish). Set aside.
- Make the Batter:
-
Step 2- Combine Ingredients: Batter: In a bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, oil, eggs, corn kernels, creamed corn, and sour cream. Fold dry ingredients into wet, just until combined. Stir in mix-ins, if desired.
- Bake the Casserole:
-
Step 3- Bake: Bake: Spread batter into prepared baking dish and bake for 45-60 minutes or until no longer overly jiggly in the center. We like it fairly soft, but cook it longer if you want a firmer texture.
