thanks, sister. will try this on the lodge corn pone pans my brother-in-law sent me. am always excited to use it because i has more crisp edges than cornbread baked in a regular pan. i had a different recipe, but this seems easier.

They’re called “muffies”. I’ve tried chocolate chip ones sold at Panera Bread (resto/bakeshop) in the US

Cornmeal is more commonly called “maize meal” in British English. Polenta is Northern Italian in origin and is the finished product, using corn meal (farina di mais) as ingredient.
But beware:
farina di mais = corn meal
amido di mais = corn flour (Brit) = corn starch (US) !

I think this post subconsciously led me to getting a membership at S&R yesterday! (that and a need for good Greek yogurt!) I bought a corn bread mix :D now to get those pans!
