The One Trick to Make Your Cornbread Perfectly Moist Every Time - SFM

Use Buttermilk: It adds richness and helps create a tender crumb.

–

Add Melted Butter or Oil: Fat keeps the cornbread moist and adds flavor.

Mix Gently: Overmixing can lead to dry, dense cornbread.

Incorporate Sour Cream or Yogurt: These dairy ingredients provide extra moisture and tenderness.

Use an Extra Egg: It adds structure and moisture to the cornbread.

Choose Fine Cornmeal: A finer grind results in a smoother, more moist texture.

Add a Little Sugar: Just a touch of sugar helps with moisture retention and flavor balance.

Don’t Overbake: Bake until just done to prevent dryness; check with a toothpick.

Let It Rest: Allowing the cornbread to sit for a few minutes after baking helps it retain moisture.
