Notes

Note: Use yellow cornmeal in this recipe as white cornmeal won't give you the rich golden color that you love.

Note: The texture and taste of cornbread are unique. It’s what makes it a favorite of so many. If you’re not a fan of crumbly cornbread, more flour will make it less crumbly. Whereas more cornmeal will make it more crumbly. You can tweak this a little bit to make your cornbread the texture you prefer!

Note: Use a rubber spatula to make sure the batter is spread evenly in the baking dish.
