Tips:

Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a better flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but make sure it's a fine grind.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a hot oven. Cornbread should be baked in a hot oven (400°F or higher) so that it rises quickly and develops a crispy crust.
Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. Cornbread is best served slightly warm, but not hot. This will give it a chance to set and develop its full flavor.
