Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in a tough cornbread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread to rise and brown properly. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the cornbread.
Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. Let the cornbread cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help the cornbread to set and make it easier to slice.
