Tips:
- Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will produce a lighter, fluffier bread than cornmeal that has been sitting around for a while.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense bread.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before baking. This will allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid and produce a more evenly textured bread.
- Bake the bread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the bread to rise quickly and produce a crispy crust.
- Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Self-rising cornmeal is a versatile ingredient that can be used to make a variety of delicious breads, muffins, and other baked goods. By following the tips above, you can create light, fluffy, and flavorful cornbread that your family and friends will love.
