Preheat oven to 400°F. Thoroughly grease a 10-inch round cast iron pan with non-dairy butter (or 9x9 square baking pan).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, flax, powder, salt, and soda.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, melted butter, and syrup.
Pour the wet into the dry and stir until just combined. Batter will be thick. Scrape into the pan and gently spread to the edges. Bake for 18-23 minutes, until a toothpick comes out just clean.
Recipe Notes: If using a smaller pan (ie: 8x8 or 9-inch round, baking time will increase).
