Bake cornbread until golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool 20 minutes in the pan before cutting into squares. (65 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider using smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1.5 tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1.5 cups of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cornbread. Mix until just combined.
Feel free to experiment with other types of cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, for a different flavor profile.
