- Pour the batter into a greased pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter cornbread, adjust the sugar to your taste, using up to 1/2 cup. You can also experiment with adding ingredients like corn kernels, jalapeños, or shredded cheese to enhance flavor. If you're out of milk, buttermilk or a non-dairy alternative can work well. For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this cornbread ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just remember to mix it again before baking. However, fresh-baked cornbread has the best texture and flavor.
What can I use instead of eggs in this recipe?
If you're looking for an egg substitute, you can use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed meal mixture (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) for each egg. This works well in keeping the cornbread moist.
How do I know when the cornbread is done baking?
Your cornbread is done when it turns golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. You might also notice a slightly firm texture when you gently press down on the top.
