Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish that is at least 2 inches deep. Place the buttered dish in the oven while you mix the batter.
- Whisk together the heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and set aside.
- Whisk together the eggs and melted butter in a large bowl until well blended. Add the milk, vinegar, the remaining sugar and 1 teaspoon salt and beat until mixed well. Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl.
- Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the preheated dish, then slowly, pour the seasoned cream into the center of the batter about 1-inch away from the edge. Don't stir the cream into the batter.
- Bake until the top of the cornbread is lightly browned, and a toothpick inserted near the edge of the bread (not the center) comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Heat milk to lukewarm. Add to bread-machine pan along with the egg, cornbread mix, flour, and yeast. Set on "Dough" cycle.
- When complete, remove dough to floured surface. Roll into 15 x 8-inch rectangle.
- Cut ¾-inch strips the short way. (See picture above.) Dip in butter, then cornmeal, if desired. Knock off excess cornmeal. Twist and lay onto greased cookie sheet or silicone mat. Don't crowd. I use two cookie sheets.
- Cover twists and set in warm place to rise about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake 12-15 minutes until golden.
Tips:
- Use fresh corn. Fresh corn has a sweeter, more flavorful taste than frozen or canned corn.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough.
- Use a cast iron skillet. A cast iron skillet will give the cornbread a crispy crust.
- Add some spice. A little bit of chili powder, cumin, or cayenne pepper can add a nice kick to the cornbread.
- Serve with butter and honey. This is the classic way to enjoy cornbread, and it's always a hit.
