Advice

When making cornbread, it's important to start with a good recipe. Start by preheating the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe, and then grease a baking pan with butter. Combine all the dry ingredients together in a bowl, and then add wet ingredients like egg, milk, and vegetable oil. Mix all the ingredients together until well blended. Once the batter is ready, pour it into the baking pan and bake for the recommended amount of time. Finally, test the cornbread with a toothpick before removing it from the oven to ensure it has cooked all the way through. Enjoy!
