Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter an 8 inch square baking dish. Place in oven and allow to get hot while you mix up the batter.

Beat eggs and melted butter till well blended. Add sugar, salt, milk, and vinegar; beat well.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and baking soda. Pour in the egg mixture, and mix until batter is smooth and no lumps remain.

Pour batter into the heated baking dish, and then pour the cream into the center of the batter without stirring.

Bake at 350 F for 1 hour or until lightly browned.

Serve warm. When the corn bread is done, a creamy and barley set custard will have formed inside. I especially like this with Ham in Cherry Coke!
