Notes
You can make muffins with this recipe by greasing a 12 cup muffin tin with butter, pouring in the batter, and baking for 25-30 minutes.
You can freeze the cornbread by wrapping it in plastic wrap. It will keep for one to two months.
Make sure to bake until the top, and the edges are golden brown.
Avoid over stirring the wet and dry ingredients even if there are few lumps.
You may mix a spoonful of honey or grated orange peel into the butter to coat on the warm bread.
Remember to grease the pan before baking.
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for at least five minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool down fully.
Measure the flour correctly, as adding too much would ruin the recipe.
Variations
You may use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup instead of granulated sugar.
A great substitute for buttermilk is Greek yoghurt, low-fat yoghurt or even milk.
Adding fun toppings can make this dish more delicious. Toppings like honey, jelly or jam, and cheese would taste divine.
You may add some add-ins like roasted corn, cheddar cheese, blueberries, green chile corn, and cheesy garlic to make it extra delicious and rich.
There are different types of ground cornmeal, yellow cornmeal is preferred, but you may also use white or new Mexican blue cornmeal.
You may use cooking oil instead of melted butter. To make this dairy-free, you may use dairy-free butter or vegan butter.
You may add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Add some chopped nuts to the batter, such as pecans or walnuts.
