I have created this recipe from my trials. I like my corn bread to have a nice corn flavor, to be moist and not crumble, and I like it a little sweet. I also DON'T like the bitter after taste so many corn breads have. Give it a shot, you won't regret it!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Spray or grease a baking dish (I used 8×11. Could use a pie pan or a cast-iron skillet)
- Mix wet ingredients in a large bowl.
- Mix dry ingredients in another bowl.
- Mix wet into dry
- Pour into a pan
- Bake for 20-25 minutes
Tips:
- Use fresh cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal yields a more flavorful and moist cornbread. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use stone-ground cornmeal, which is a good substitute.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough cornbread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use buttermilk: Buttermilk gives cornbread a slightly tangy flavor and helps to make it moist. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Add a little sugar: Sugar helps to balance out the cornmeal's flavor and gives cornbread a slightly sweet taste. You can also add honey or maple syrup to the batter for a sweeter cornbread.
- 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 before serving: Cornbread is best served warm, but it's important to let it cool for a few minutes before serving so that it can set properly.
Conclusion:
Cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. With its sweet and savory flavor, cornbread is a great addition to any table. Whether you're serving it with chili, soup, or just a pat of butter, cornbread is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy bread to make, give cornbread a try.
