Homemade Cornbread

Cornbread is a popular baked good made from a mixture of cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, milk, and oil or butter. It is a staple food in Southern cuisine, served as a side dish to compliment savory main dishes such as stews, chili, and barbecue. Cornbread is a good source of complex carbohydrates and protein. It is also rich in fiber, which helps promote healthy digestion, and contains essential vitamins and minerals such as thiamin, niacin, and magnesium. However, cornbread made with high amounts of sugar and fat, such as sweet cornbread or hushpuppies, may not be the healthiest options. Homemade cornbread can be a nutritious addition to a balanced diet if made with wholesome ingredients and served in moderation.
