Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cornbread will be. This is especially true for the cornmeal, which should be freshly ground for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a hot oven: Cornbread should be baked in a hot oven to ensure that it rises properly and develops a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcook the cornbread: Overcooked cornbread will be dry and crumbly. Bake it just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve cornbread warm: Cornbread is best served warm, right out of the oven. You can also reheat it in the oven or microwave.
