I didn't toss it. I added lots of salt to the batter until it almost
tasted like cornbread. I *did* think about adding cornmeal but it would
have required a lot of it. Then the texture would be off. It probably
would have required another egg, possibly more milk. I'm not going to
waste much time doctoring up a 25 cent box of Jiffy mix.
