Can I freeze homemade cornbread?

Yes, let it cool completely then slice. Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap, then again in aluminum foil, and finally place the pieces into a freezer safe bag. It will stay good frozen for up to three months.

Am I able to make these into muffins?

You most definitely can! Grease your muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and fill the cups 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Why is my no buttermilk cornbread so crumbly?

If it's too crumbly then chances are you measured your flour wrong. You do not want to pack the flour into the measuring cup, the best way to measure it is to use a spoon to scoop it into the measuring cup and shake off any excess once your cup is filled.

Again, your flour might have been measured wrongly or your baking powder may have been expired. Too much flour would lead to a dry, dense cornbread, and expired baking powder won't rise which will also lead to a dense bread.

Can I make this recipe gluten free?

You can try substituting the all purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten free flour brand, but I have not tested it and cannot guarantee results.

What's the difference between Southern cornbread and Northern?

There's a lot of debate about the differences between Southern and Northern cornbread, but after researching here's what I concluded. Southern cornbread is cakier in texture due to the use of more eggs, can be made with white or yellow cornmeal, and is a bit more buttery as well. Northern cornbread, on the other hand, isn't as sweet and is made with fewer eggs which gives it a more crumbly texture.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a rubber spatula to gently fold everything together until there are no traces of flour
CAREFULLY pull the hot cast iron pan out of the oven once it's preheated and spray it lightly with non-stick cooking spray
Pour the homemade cornbread batter into the hot cast iron pan and use the rubber spatula to quickly spread it into an even layer
Place the entire pan back into the hot oven and bake for 23-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean

Notes

HOW TO BAKE IN AN 8X8 BAKING DISH:

Without putting your baking dish into the oven, follow directions 1-4
Spread the cornbread batter into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish and place it into your preheated oven
Bake for 19-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
Serve and enjoy

MORE NOTES

Be sure to preheat your cast iron skillet
Use quality ingredients for best results
Fine/ medium grind cornmeal is the best to use
Don't overmix the batter
In order to keep it as moist as can be once baked, it's best to cut slices as needed instead of pre-slicing the entire pan.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
