Notes
- Preheat your baking pan or skillet before adding the batter. This helps form a crisp, golden crust. If you're using a cast-iron skillet, place it in the oven while it preheats!
- You can add ingredients like shredded cheese, chopped jalapeños, cooked bacon, or fresh herbs to enhance flavor.
- Start checking for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time. The cornbread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
- Store leftover cornbread in an airtight container or wrap it in foil. It will keep at room temperature for a couple of days, or you can freeze it for longer storage.
