So I made my first cornbread (UK here so it’s not really a thing), only had it a couple times before – used Sean brock’s recipe https://www.seriouseats.com/cracklin-cornbread-from-heritage and served with kenji’s chicken chilli (with some adjustments) https://www.seriouseats.com/white-chili-with-chicken-best – what do you think? The crisp on the outside was unreal, texture was good, but a touch dry

Looks like you nailed the recipe. I wasn’t familiar with this one but as a southerner with opinions about cornbread, it seems ok (specifically no sugar). My family recipe uses butter instead of rendered bacon and adds sour cream. You could try adding sour cream (is crème fraiche the UK equilivalent?) which might help with the moisture.
