2. Sift together the dry ingredients – cornmeal, wheat flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper. Sifting ensures a smooth and evenly mixed batter.

3. Combine the wet ingredients in a separate bowl – milk and eggs. Whisk them together until well incorporated.

4. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can result in tough corn sticks.

5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Give it a quick, light stir to combine. Remember, the key here is not to over-stir. A few swift strokes will do the trick.

6. Prepare your bread stick pan by spraying it generously with non-stick spray. This ensures easy removal of the corn sticks once they’re baked.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, filling each mold evenly.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes or until the corn sticks are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Serve your freshly baked corn sticks warm alongside your favorite soups, stews, or as a tasty side dish to any meal.
