FAQ

What is the secret to moist cornbread?

To make a moist and tender cornbread, we use a combination of butter (adds fat and flavor), buttermilk (adds tang and moisture), and eggs (helps hold the bread together). Also be sure to bake it just until a toothpick comes out clean and no longer. Overbaked cornbread = dry cornbread.

What is the difference between cornbread and Southern cornbread?

Northern cornbread isn’t very sweet and is made with fewer eggs and yellow cornmeal to achieve a crumbly texture. Southern-style cornbread can be made with white or yellow cornmeal, has a buttery finish and calls for more eggs, which produces a cakelike texture.

What ingredient keeps cornbread from crumbling?

Adding an egg yolk to your cornbread will help hold its shape while you’re cutting and serving it. You can add a yolk even if your recipe doesn’t call for any eggs at all–just put it in with the other wet ingredients.

Why do Southerners not put sugar in cornbread?

There are cornmeal puddings served with sweet sauces, but no Southern cook would risk the spoiling of her cornbreads by sweetening them.” In 1937, the Times reported that “cornbread in Kentucky is made with white, coarsely ground cornmeal. Never, never are sugar and wheat flour used in cornbread.
