Cornbread is good. I've been looking for a big bag of Marie Calender
cornbread mix at Costco but that seems to be discontinued.

If you want a moister cornbread, you should add oil or butter to the
batter - not another egg. The batter should be a nice flowable one, not
too thick. If you baked it until it was browned, you might have
overcooked it.
