Notes

HOW TO REFRIGERATE
Store cooled cornbread in a container with a tight lid or in a large, zippered bag.  Keep in fridge (not freezer) for up to 4 days.   
After refrigeration, cornbread will feel slightly hard and dry, but will perk up when reheated.
 
HOW TO REHEAT
Arrange one layer of cornbread muffins in one layer.  Do not stack.
Fold foil over cornbread.  Warm in preheated 350 oven for 10 to 12 minutes.  Cornbread will be soft. 
To form a crispy texture, open foil containing warm muffins. 
Return to HOT oven for 2-3 minutes to lightly toast.  Watch closely to prevent burning.
