Notes
Tips:
- Use buttermilk for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before using.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to a dense cornbread.
- If you want a crispy crust, bake the cornbread in a cast-iron skillet or a ceramic dish.
- Experiment with add-ins like diced jalapeños, cheese, or herbs for extra flavor.
