Notes

  • Adjust the sugar — Though it might not seem like that, sugar is really important in this Aunt Jemima cornbread recipe. It helps to balance the savory flavor of cornmeal, by adding a touch of sweetness to your cornbread. You could even increase the amount if you’re one of those with a sweet tooth.
 
  • Can you make it ahead? — Yes, you absolutely can! Make the batter overnight and transfer it to your fridge, where it can last for a day.
