Cornbread Croutons Recipe
My cornbread recipe makes a very large skillet; great for a crowd but too much for your average family dinner. Since cornbread is really best when served fresh and hot from the oven, this crouton recipe is a great way to use up the leftovers. I’ve also divided the batter in two, and used one half for a smaller skillet of cornbread and the other half (adding blueberries and lemon zest) to make muffins.
