I first saw this official recipe, over at the verybestbaking.com site. This recipe works wonderfully in a 9”x 13” rectangular pan, as well. When combining the wet ingredients, I beat the eggs first, in the bowl. Then, I’d add the rest, not wanting to risk cooking the eggs with the heat of the melted butter. I like adding the (warm) melted butter into the wet ingredients last. I think, it adds to the overall moisture of the finished corn bread. If your oven ‘runs hot’, then reduce the overall baking time from 35 to 30 minutes. Lastly, any brand of yellow corn meal you prefer can be used.
