This tortilla soup and cousin’s cornbread recipe holds a lot of nostalgia for me. It is sweet memories of growing up with great girlfriends. Now it is a frequent request at dinner parties. I like to serve this Tortilla Soup with Cousin’s cornbread, a present find and the best cornbread you will ever taste. My son calls it corn-“cake”, and he is justified in doing so as it is sweet, moist, and DIVINE.

Can Cornbread Be Baked as Muffins?

Cornbread can be baked in a skillet, a cake pan, a loaf pan, or in muffin tins.

Can Cornbread Be Frozen?

To freeze corn bread, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place in heavy-duty freezer bag.

Cornbread can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Why Does Cornbread Fall Apart? 

Cornbread should be a little crumbly.

To keep it from falling apart altogether, use more flour.

Too much corn meal and not enough flour doesn’t give cornbread enough gluten to hold it together.
