FAQ:
Q: Can I substitute buttermilk with regular milk?
A: You can, but for authentic flavor, buttermilk is highly recommended. If needed, make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk.
Q: Can this be made gluten-free?
A: Yes! Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and ensure your cornmeal is certified gluten-free.
Q: Why is my cornbread dry?
A: Overbaking can cause dryness. Keep a close eye during the final minutes and remove from the oven as soon as a toothpick comes out clean.
