Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier texture, consider adding a tablespoon of baking powder to the dry ingredients. If you want a bit of sweetness, you can substitute a portion of the white cornmeal with cornmeal that has a touch of sugar. Additionally, using buttermilk instead of water will enhance the flavor. This recipe can also be modified to fit vegan recipes by using a plant-based milk.
