Cook's Tools

• 8-inch pan (I use this pan because it comes with a lid. It helps storing leftover cornbread so easy!)
• large mixing bowl
• large measuring cup
• small serving spatula (This is great for getting pieces of cornbread out of the pan. It's also perfect for removing cookies from cookie sheets).

Recipe FAQ's

Why is my cornbread not done in the middle?

Try covering the dish with foil and baking it for a few more minutes if it is not done in the middle.

How can you tell if cornbread is done?

The top of the cornbread will be a beautiful golden brown when done baking. You can also insert a toothpick into the center of it to check if it is done. If the toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs, then it is done.

What causes crumbly cornbread?

There are a couple of different reasons this could be happening. First, make sure you use the correct amounts of flour and cornmeal. Too much or not enough of either one will throw the texture of the cornbread off.
