How to store leftovers
Once the sour cream cornbread has cooled all the way, store in an airtight container lined with paper towel, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
It will freeze well. If you would like to freeze leftovers, store in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.
Mel's kitchen notes
Lining the container with paper towel for storage helps avoid moisture build-up.
