Tips:

- For a sweeter cornbread, use 1 cup of white sugar instead of 1/2 cup. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - To make sure your cornbread muffins are moist, don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. - You can add other ingredients to your cornbread muffins to customize them. Some popular additions include chopped bacon, crumbled sausage, diced jalapenos, or shredded cheese. - Store leftover cornbread muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the muffins for up to 2 months.
