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 does adding an extra egg to cornbread do?

Eggs are responsible for giving baked goods structure, which means the amount you use directly affects the resulting texture. Using too few eggs will make your desserts dense, but using too many will make them rubbery. The explanation for this lies in the fact that eggs are made up of protein.

Can I just use milk for cornbread?

Milk: Many cornbread recipes call for regular milk as a wet ingredient to moisten the batter and create a tender texture. You can use any type of milk you prefer, such as whole milk, 2% milk, or even plant-based milk.

Why do you put baking soda in cornbread?

Baking powder & baking soda: To help the bread rise. Eggs: Needed for moisture and structure. Milk: Whole buttermilk is best for this recipe.
