Mammy's Cornbread

It just about goes without saying that if you stay overnight at one of the plantation hotels across the South, you're going to be offered cornbread with your meals. This splendid version remakes a classic buttermilk recipe with a few easy changes. After your first bite, you'll probably agree with the philosphy that cornbread goes with everything!

2/3 cup Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk Powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg or equivalent in egg substitute
1/4 cup Land O Lakes no-fat sour cream
