Tips:
- Use Fresh Cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal gives a better flavor and texture to your cornbread. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but make sure it's finely ground.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a Cast Iron Skillet: A cast iron skillet is the best way to cook cornbread. It distributes heat evenly and gives your cornbread a crispy crust.
- Preheat Your Oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking your cornbread. This will help it rise properly.
- Serve Warm: Cornbread is best served warm. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave if necessary.
