Cornbread has a rich history dating back to Native American tribes who ground maize into meal and baked it into flat cakes. This tradition was adopted by European settlers and evolved into the cornbread we know today. The dish gained popularity in the Southern United States, where it became a staple due to the abundance of corn. Chefs like Edna Lewis and Sean Brock have elevated cornbread, infusing it with modern twists while staying true to its rustic roots. The best versions can be found in Southern soul food restaurants, where the key lies in achieving the perfect balance of moistness and crumbly texture. Whether baked in a skillet or muffin tin, cornbread remains a beloved comfort food.
