Corn Bread tips:
- To avoid over-mixing avoid using an electric mixer. Use only your hands to mix and combine the ingredients of the recipe.
- It is better to serve and eat the corn bread on the day it is baked; it is not really well when stored. However, if you want to store what is left after serving, wrap it in plastic and aluminium foil before refrigerating.
- If you want to sweeten your baked corn bread more than it is already sweet, use honey when it is baked on top.
- Some people use white cornmeal and that doesn’t give the same result as golden yellow cornmeal. So make sure to use only yellow cornmeal in this recipe unless you are obliged to use it the white one.
- it is better to use a baking pan to bake this outstanding cornbread than a skillet because this later won’t give the same crispy edges as a pan can do.
