Tips:

Use fresh cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a better flavor and texture than old cornmeal.
Grind your own cornmeal if possible: Grinding your own cornmeal will give you the freshest and most flavorful cornbread possible. If you don't have a grain mill, you can buy freshly ground cornmeal from a local farmer's market or health food store.
Use buttermilk: Buttermilk will give your cornbread a moist and tender crumb. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and brown properly. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before baking the cornbread.
Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: This will help the cornbread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
