Notes
Bake slightly less for softer cornbread or longer for crispier golden edges with firmer texture. Freeze cooled slices individually inside airtight bags for quick meals later. Stir batter gently during assembly to avoid dense texture. Add cheddar, jalapeños, bacon, or honey for flavor customization. Store covered at room temperature up to three days.
