Recipe FAQ's
Homemade cornbread gets the most amazing crispy edges, I use a 10-inch skillet and I highly recommend getting one. But it can also be baked in a 9x9 square baking pan .
Sure, can! Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners and fill the cups about 2/3 full and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Store leftover cornbread in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Warn in the microwave.
