For the best results, stick to medium or fine-ground cornmeal. These options provide the perfect balance of crumbly and soft textures. Avoid corn flour, which is too finely milled, or stone-ground polenta, which is coarser. These won’t give you the classic cornbread results and can affect the consistency of your dish. Correct Ratio: For this recipe, I use a 1:2 ratio of cornmeal to all-purpose flour, which creates a soft, slightly crumbly, cake-like texture. If you prefer a stronger corn flavor and a coarser texture, you can try a 1:1 ratio. Keep in mind, less flour highlights the unique taste and texture of cornmeal, while more flour adds softness and structure. If you adjust the ratio, you might need to tweak the wet ingredients like butter, milk, or eggs to maintain the right batter consistency. Room Temperature Ingredients: Using room temperature eggs, milk, and melted butter ensures smooth mixing and a consistent batter. Let your eggs and milk sit out for 15 minutes before starting, and allow melted butter to cool to room temperature before adding it. Combine Butter and Oil for Best Results: Butter adds rich flavor and a creamy texture, while oil keeps the cornbread moist and tender. Combining both gives you the best of both worlds. If you prefer, you can stick to one, but using both provides the perfect balance of taste and texture. Adjust the Sweetness: The sweetness in this recipe is balanced just right, but you can adjust it to match your preference. Add less sugar for a lighter sweetness, or a bit more if you like it sweeter. For a Savory Version: If you’d like to make savory cornbread, skip the sugar entirely and replace it with savory ingredients. Mix in shredded cheese (like cheddar or parmesan), fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme, or diced jalapeños for a bit of spice. For an even richer flavor, you can add cooked bacon bits. Baking Dish Size: For this recipe, I used an 8x11-inch baking dish, which works perfectly with the given quantities. If you adjust the recipe, make sure to pick a pan size that matches the new proportions. This will help keep the texture right and allow for even baking. #YellowChilis #Cornbread #CornbreadRecipe #SweetCornbread Connect with us on: Facebook:   / yellowchilis   Instagram:   / yellowchilis   Pinterest:   / yellowchilis   Twitter:   / yellowchilis
