Easy corn bread

I made chilli at the weekend and cornbread always goes down well with our crowd.  The first batch disappeared at dinner time but as the evening wore on it turned into a party and we ran out of snacks and my wife started to panic so at 11 o'clock I knocked up another batch in about five minutes, that's how easy this is.  The plate of hot cornbread disappeared in five minutes flat and so I was back to the kitchen but hey, that's life and entertaining...
