Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels. Fresh corn kernels have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than frozen or canned corn kernels. If you don't have fresh corn kernels, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Stir the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread to rise and brown evenly.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will allow the cornbread to set and will make it easier to slice.
