Tips:

Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a more flavorful and moist texture. If you can, try to find stone-ground cornmeal, which has a more rustic flavor.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and give it a crispy crust.
Let the cornbread cool before serving. This will help the cornbread to set and make it easier to slice.
Serve the cornbread with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, honey, and chili.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you like it sweet or savory, there is a cornbread recipe out there for you. With a little practice, you can make perfect cornbread every time. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
