Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth batter. For a sweeter cornbread, increase sugar up to 1 1/2 cups. Preheat the skillet to achieve a crispy crust. Store in a cool place wrapped in plastic wrap or aluminum foil for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Freeze wrapped for up to 3 months. Try variations like using honey, whole wheat flour, or adding ingredients like cheese or jalapeños for a twist.
