Preparation

  3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir until just mixed.

Notes

Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise. Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. For added flavor, you can mix in some grated cheese or jalapeños. Wrap cooled cornbread in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container; lasts at room temperature for up to two days or freeze for up to three months.
