Notes
- Store leftover cornbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
- Baking times vary by pan size: 40-50 minutes for an 8×8 square or 8-inch round pan, 35-40 minutes for an 11×7 inch pan, and 15-20 minutes for 12 corn muffins.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when done.
- Use mild canned green chiles for gentle heat; sliced jarred jalapeños can be added if a spicier kick is preferred.
