Tips for Making the Best Mexican Cornbread (Southern Style)

- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using. - For a sweeter cornbread, use sweet corn kernels. For a more savory cornbread, use field corn kernels. - Be sure to grease your pan well before baking. This will help prevent the cornbread from sticking. - Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense cornbread. - Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. This will help it rise and create a crispy crust. - Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help it hold its shape.
