Tips

Use yellow cornmeal. This causes the cornbread to take on a golden color.
Use fresh cornmeal. Taste it to make sure it's not stale
You can use whole wheat flour instead of white flour. For more, check out our 'Types of Flours' article.
After combining the dry and liquid ingredients, place the dough on the baking tray without waiting.
Add butter and oil to the dough mixture. Melted butter and oil make the dough more moist and soft.
Do not overmix the dough. Mix the dough until all the ingredients are combined. For this, you can mix the dough by hand. Over-mixing the dough will activate the gluten, and the dough can become tough.
To make vegan or dairy-free corn bread, omit the eggs, butter, buttermilk, and sour cream. Use flaxseed eggs, vegan butter, plant-based milk, coconut cream/vegan sour cream.
Preheat the pan or baking sheet. Preheat the pan or baking dish for about 5 minutes before adding the cornbread dough. The preheated baking dish ensures that the crust of the bread is crispy and golden brown.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or grease the tray. Do not do this too early. Otherwise, the butter may melt and stick to the bottom of the bread pan.
Be careful not to overcook the cornbread. Otherwise, the bread will dry out.
Use a toothpick to check for doneness. When the recipe's baking time is up, insert a toothpick or fork into the cornbread. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is baked. If the dough is still wet and sticks to the toothpick, bake for a few more minutes.
You can make this recipe in a baking dish, cast-iron skillet, or muffin tin.
It is best to consume cornbread the same day you bake it.
