Air Fryer Cornbread

Air Fryer Cornbread

Cornbread is a Southern staple and an air fryer is the perfect way to bake it. It is made with buttermilk, butter, and eggs, so it will be moist and buttery on the inside with its crispy crust. It has a true country flavor and is always a crowd-pleasing side to any meal.
