This recipe is ripped off from the January 1998 Cooking Light magazine. The only difference: refrigerated corn twists aren't available anymore, so people like me have been using the Jiffy Cornbread workaround for decades. It's a fine recipe, but it is kind of lame that someone used this to enter a Food Network cooking contest.
