Customization Tips
Feel free to get creative with your corn bread. Add shredded cheese, chopped jalapeños, or fresh herbs for a unique twist that suits your taste. Just remember, don’t overmix the batter—overmixing can lead to a dense texture. Stir until the ingredients are just combined for a lighter, fluffier result.
Serving Suggestions
Corn bread pairs wonderfully with a hearty bowl of chili or can be enjoyed on its own. For inspiration on what to serve with this classic dish, visit the University of Maine Cooperative Extension’s Soups and Chilis recipe page.
