A lady, who is not blind, said she takes the baking pan after it is filled with the batter and shakes the pan a little, but in addition she tips the pan one way and then tips the pan the other direction. Then you can give the batter a feel test. You might try running the back of a spoon over the batter and that would be helpful to achieving level batter.

It was great, but there are two problems. [I thought the cornbread mix, filling and more cornbread mix were level in the baking pan. They weren't. What's the cooking in the dark way of accomplishing this? Also the Jiffy mix called for makes the cornbread too sweet for me. A friend told me that the I Hate to Cook" cookbook has a recipe that uses cornmeal and is made all in one pot. Anyone have this recipe or another one that does the same thing.
