Tips
- If you do not have self-rising cornmeal, add 1 tablespoon of baking powder.
- Measure sugar to your preferred level of sweetness. It gotta taste sweet like me for meeee!
- Do not add additional salt as the salted butter provides enough seasoning.
- You can slice the cornbread with a butter knife because it's so soft.
