💡 Pro Tips

  • For a richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of milk.
  • Add a handful of grated cheese (like feta or cheddar) to the batter for a savory twist.
  • Serve with honey, jam, or a dollop of sour cream.

🔄 Variations

  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a sweeter cornbread.
  • Incorporate fresh or frozen corn kernels into the batter.
  • Bake in muffin tins for individual servings.
