HOW TO MAKE THIS CORNBREAD FLUFFY?
Trade the milk for buttermilk to help the baking powder get the best rise possible. If you don’t have buttermilk, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the milk and let it sit for a few minutes.
Be sure that the baking powder you are using is fresh. Old baking powder doesn’t work as well.
Check your oven with an oven-safe thermometer to make sure you are cooking at the right temperature.
Let the cornmeal soak with the milk for ten minutes before mixing the ingredients together. This really does make a difference in the recipe.

CAN I MAKE CORNBREAD IN A CAST IRON SKILLET?
YES, You can make this cornbread recipe in a cast iron skillet for a crispy crust with a soft light center. When melting the butter, you can also let it keep cooking to get a browned butter skillet cornbread recipe with more flavor.
Bring the skillet up to high heat, then melt two tablespoons of butter in the skillet.
Pour the batter into the skillet, and transfer the skillet to the oven at 400 degrees. It’s done when a toothpick comes out clean.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CORNMEAL AND CORN FLOUR?
Corn flour is basically a finer ground version of cornmeal. Cornmeal is used to make dishes like polenta or grits, while corn flour is used for thickening soups or puddings.
For this recipe, you want to use cornmeal because that’s what gives this cornbread recipe its texture.
