cornbread

I like cornbread. I really do. But my baking relationship with cornbread is complicated. We have issues.
The few times I tried the ubiquitous supermarket boxed mix, the muffins were dry. The three times I bought cornmeal and attempted a from-scratch batch, they were no better— too dry, too cornmeally, too gritty, too disappointing. The aftermath included thrown out muffins; forgotten bag of cornmeal with cobwebby crud (found two years later when clearing out the pantry); similar years-old forgotten bag in the bottom corner of the deep freezer, minus the cobwebs.

I was asked by the people at Fleischmann's to try out their cornbread product and happily yet fearfully jumped at the chance. Would I be let down once again? Did I mention that I like cornbread?

I'm glad to say that this is the best batch I've ever made— moist, buttery, flavorful and all around yummy. The texture is slightly fluffy with just a little grit.

It's so simple to make. You just add an egg, milk and melted butter to the mix, stick it in the oven and voila!

 Fresh, delicious cornbread!
