Add a dollop of sour cream to the batter for a rich, creamy texture that keeps the cornbread moist.
For a tangy twist, replace regular milk with buttermilk to enhance flavor and make the cornbread extra fluffy.
Incorporating melted butter into the batter adds a layer of richness and depth to the flavor.
For a creamy, sweet addition, stir in a can of creamed corn—this gives the cornbread a soft, moist texture.
Drizzle in a little honey for natural sweetness that complements the savory corn flavor perfectly.
Add an extra egg to the batter for a lighter, fluffier cornbread with better rise.
Baking the cornbread in a preheated cast iron skillet creates a crisp golden crust while keeping the inside soft and fluffy.
