Corn Sticks

The best part of corn bread is the crust. The worst part are the crumbs from the center. Corn sticks are almost all crust, crumbs are at a minimum. If you don't have a bread stick pan, shop around for one that bakes real bread sticks, think Italian Restaurant, You know, 1/2 inch round and 10 inches long. It will be worth the trouble.
