1. Let it cool:
   • Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, optionally with butter or honey.

Pro Tips

• Sweetness Variation: For a slightly sweeter cornbread, increase the sugar to ¾ cup.
• Add-Ins: To give your cornbread a twist, consider adding 1 cup of shredded cheese, jalapeños, or even sweet corn kernels to the batter.
• Storage: Store leftover cornbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
