Notes
From Christine: My neighbor Stacy shared this recipe, when I told her I was looking for a good cornbread recipe for Jim’s turkey dressing. She immediately shared this recipe and Jim has used it ever since. Evan has made it for his lab mates at MIT for a potluck. And it is always a big hit when Allyson makes it for her co-workers. The original recipe may come from All Recipes, not sure.
From Allyson: I always wait until I am ready to pour the batter into the pan to grease the pan. Once it’s done baking, I wait 15 minutes for it to cool, then flip it out of the pan. This gives me a perfectly clean release every time. Also, Mom is correct that this is always a big hit when I bring it to work!
