Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh corn: Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and no signs of damage.
- Soak the corn kernels: This helps to soften the kernels and make them more tender.
- Use a cast-iron skillet: This helps to create a crispy crust on the cornbread.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough cornbread.
- Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that the cornbread is cooked through.
- Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: This allows the flavors to develop.
