The instructions on the package will guide you on the specific quantities and mixing method. Once the batter is combined, it is poured into a prepared baking pan or muffin tin. Baking time and temperature will vary depending on the size and type of baked good you are making. The result is a tender, slightly sweet bread with a characteristic cornmeal flavor.
