Real cornbread is made in a round cast iron skillet and can't be square.

Well, I had a 'first' today: the admiral made cornbread with kefir instead of buttermilk.

I was sceptical until the first bite. Now I am a convert.

Clearly, you all needed to know this important development in the story of square dowels.

I'm glad you asked that question. They were round, made in a square tray.

Me thinks one who chooses to post cornbread made round in a square tray is destined for greatness as a facilitator. What better way to take a position of baking round or square cornbread. Now all can get a jar of sorghum syrup and slather over the cornbread.

Very generous of you, clearly a diplomat and visionary.  All credit to the admiral who saw the possibilities and delivered the cornbread.

Sopping up the syrup sounds good.
