Notes
- Ensure that your ingredients are at room temperature, especially the eggs and milk, as this helps to create a smoother batter and promotes even baking, resulting in a light and fluffy texture for your sweet cornbread.
- Don't overmix the batter; combine the dry and wet ingredients until just mixed to avoid developing too much gluten, which can lead to a dense cornbread instead of the desired tender crumb.
