FAQS

How to prevent the cornbread from turning crumbly?

To avoid the crumbly texture in your cornbread, replace a small quantity of corn meal with flour. Having more cornmeal in your mixture will make the dough and the bread crumbly. Try to add flour in more quantity to reduce the crumbly texture.

How to keep the cornbread moist?

Adding eggs to the cornbread will keep the cornbread moist and hold all the ingredients together. Along with the eggs, the addition of melted butter in the cornbread keeps it soft and moist with the most spongy and fluffy bites. The addition of buttermilk is also preferred in the cornbread for better flavor and texture.

Can we add cornstarch to the cornbread?

Cornstarch cannot be added to the cornbread as a replacement for the cornmeal. Cornstarch overly thickens and dries the mixture. Therefore, try avoiding the cornstarch in your cornbread.
