Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal has a more pronounced corn flavor and a better texture than store-bought cornmeal.
  • Grind your own cornmeal. If you have a grain mill, you can grind your own cornmeal from dried corn kernels. This will give you the freshest, most flavorful cornmeal possible.
  • Use buttermilk. Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and helps to tenderize the cornbread.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough.
  • Let the cornbread rest before baking. Letting the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before baking will allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid and produce a more moist cornbread.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help to create a crispy crust and a moist interior.
  • Serve the cornbread warm. Cornbread is best served warm, but it can also be enjoyed at room temperature.

Conclusion:

This super moist cornbread recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a delicious, homemade cornbread that is sure to be a hit.
