CLASSIC CORNBREAD
Matt and Amy Bell, owners of the restaurant South on Main, usually avoid cooking contests. But the cornbread festival was different. "It's more of a community project than a competition," Matt says. "And it's directly outside the restaurant." The pair won the traditional category with their classic cornbread, a recipe developed by Amy's grandmother Nellie Mae. "You don't dare mess with family recipes," Matt says. "And if you do, you better make sure they can't tell."

Tips:
- Use fresh cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a better flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but make sure it's finely ground.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a hot oven: A hot oven will help your cornbread rise quickly and evenly. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the cornbread.
- Bake the cornbread in a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will help your cornbread develop a crispy crust. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Let the cornbread cool before serving: Let the cornbread cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help the cornbread set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make the perfect cornbread every time.
