For an enhanced flavor, consider using buttermilk instead of regular milk. Its acidity adds a tangy note and tenderizes the cornbread. Feel free to customize this recipe by adding mix-ins such as shredded cheese, chopped jalapenos, or fresh herbs. These additions can elevate the cornbread and complement a variety of dishes. To maintain its moistness, store leftover cornbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving to restore its warmth and texture.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x9-inch baking pan to ensure the cornbread releases effortlessly. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures a uniform distribution of ingredients, resulting in a lighter, more evenly textured cornbread. Stir in the yellow cornmeal until well combined. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs until frothy. Incorporate the milk and melted butter, whisking until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tougher cornbread. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04
Step
21 mins
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to ensure consistent baking. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 20 to 22 minutes. The cornbread should be golden brown on top and slightly pulling away from the sides of the pan. (Bake time: 20-22 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the cornbread to set slightly, making it easier to handle. Enjoy warm with a pat of butter, a drizzle of honey, or your favorite toppings.
