I'll forgive you folks for liking boxed mixes for cornbread. LOL Try baking
it in a well-greased (yes, I use vegetable shortening!) 8" cast iron
skillet. Makes for a nice golden crust. I have a skillet dedicated for
cornbread And yes, I lightly butter the top when it comes out of the
oven... about half a tablespoon on a piece of waxed paper does the trick.
