Now, you might be thinking, "Okay, got it, 190°F to 200°F, use a thermometer, yadda yadda yadda". But, my friends, there's more to it than that. You see, the size and shape of your cornbread can also affect the cooking time and temperature. For example, if you're making a big ol' skillet cornbread, it's going to take longer to cook than a bunch of cute little muffin-sized cornbreads.

And don't even get me started on the importance of not overmixing. I mean, it's like the cardinal sin of cornbread-making. You mix it too much, and you'll end up with a tough, dense cornbread that's only good for doorstops. But, if you mix it just right, you'll be rewarded with a tender, fluffy cornbread that's just perfect for sopping up all that delicious butter and honey.
So, there you have it, folks, the secret to making perfect cornbread is all about the temperature, and a little bit of know-how. And if you don't believe me, just ask my aunt Mildred, she'll tell you the same thing. Happy baking, and remember, practice makes perfect!
