Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease 18 (5x1 1/2") cornstick molds generously with shortening and heat in oven 10 minutes.

While molds are heating, in a bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Add remaining ingredients and whisk batter just until combined. Remove molds from oven and divide batter among them, spreading it evenly.
