Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful cornbread, use fresh corn kernels. If fresh corn is unavailable, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • To add a bit of sweetness to your cornbread, add a tablespoon or two of honey or maple syrup to the batter.
  • For a savory cornbread, add a tablespoon or two of chopped jalapeños, green onions, or bacon to the batter.
  • To make your cornbread extra fluffy, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense cornbread.
  • Bake the cornbread in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
