Troubleshooting
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
1- If your cornbread does not come out a golden-brown color at the top place cornbread into the broiler part of your oven and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes. Make sure you check your cornbread every minute to ensure that it is not over browning. Do not leave the cornbread unattended.
2- If your cornbread does not appear a golden-brown color at the bottom part of your cornbread place pan at the very bottom part of your oven and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes. This is totally safe and i have had no issues thus far. Make sure you check your cornbread every minute to ensure that it is not over browning. Do not leave your corn bread unattended.
