Tips:

Choose the right cornmeal: Use a coarse-ground cornmeal for a more rustic texture and a fine-ground cornmeal for a smoother texture.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use fresh buttermilk: Fresh buttermilk will give the cornbread a tangy flavor and a moist texture. If you don't have fresh buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Add some mix-ins: To add more flavor and texture to your cornbread, try adding some mix-ins such as chopped bacon, cheese, or jalapeños.
Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the cornbread. This will help the cornbread to rise and brown evenly.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like it simple or dressed up with mix-ins, cornbread is a surefire hit.
