- Roast the butternut squash before adding it to the cornbread batter. Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and gives it a slightly smoky flavor.
- Use a combination of cornmeal and all-purpose flour. This will give the cornbread a light and fluffy texture.
- Add some chopped fresh herbs to the batter, such as cilantro or thyme. This will give the cornbread a delicious savory flavor.
- Serve the cornbread warm with butter and honey. This is the classic way to enjoy cornbread, and it's always a crowd-pleaser.
