Cornbread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is often served as a side dish, but it can also be used as a base for other dishes, such as cornbread stuffing or cornbread pudding.
Cornbread is a popular dish in the South, where it is often served with collard greens, black-eyed peas, and other Southern dishes, especially on New Year's Day.
Cornbread is a simple dish to make, but it is important to use the right ingredients. The most important ingredient is, of course, cornmeal. Cornmeal is made from ground corn kernels. It is available in a variety of grits, including fine, medium, and coarse. The type of cornmeal you use will affect the texture of your cornbread.
Other important ingredients for cornbread include flour, baking powder, salt, and eggs. You will also need milk or buttermilk. I’ve added sugar to my cornbread, but that is optional if you want savory cornbread.
My recipe suggests baking the cornbread in an 8x8 baking dish, but I also like to make it in my cast iron skillet. If you use a cast iron skillet, I like to pre-heat it in the oven and melt butter in it before adding the cornbread batter. This gives you a crusty edge and is really yummy.
You could also bake it in a loaf pan. This way you can toast the slices in the oven or on a griddle for a whole different experience.
Here are some other things to keep in mind when making cornbread:
You can use different types of cornmeal to make cornbread. Yellow cornmeal is the most common type, but you can also use white cornmeal or blue cornmeal.
You can add different ingredients to your cornbread batter, such as cheese, bacon, or jalapeños. Check out my Jalapeño Cornbread Recipe.
You can serve cornbread with a variety of toppings, such as butter, honey, syrup, or jam.
