A ‘cornbread package’ was our Christmas 2021 friend/neighbor gift.
Each package has a single loaf (half-recipe) already-made cornbread,
and do-it-yourself fixins' for a full recipe.
Two modifications for ease-of-preparation and portability:
- substitute applesauce for vegetable oil
- substitute media crema for milk
People need to supply the eggs themselves.
I tried dehydrated eggs mixed in with the dry ingredients,
but that didn't work well.
First batch ready to deliver!
