Tips:
- For the best cornbread flavor, use fresh cornmeal. If you don't have fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but be sure to check the expiration date.
- To make the cornbread extra moist, add a little bit of sour cream or buttermilk to the batter.
- Be sure to grease the baking dish before adding the cornbread batter. This will help prevent the cornbread from sticking to the dish.
- Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
- Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it hold its shape.
