Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Before using, dissolve the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar. This will help to activate the yeast and ensure that it is working properly.
  • Use fresh cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a better flavor and texture. If you can, try to find stone-ground cornmeal, as it has a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: This will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
  • Let the cornbread cool before serving: This will help to prevent the cornbread from crumbling.
