A big bowl of spicy chili and a slab of cornbread is my definition of comfort food. I made this using whole wheat flour as that was all I had at the moment; to compensate, as experience tells me it absorbs a little more liquid than all purpose flour, I added an extra tablespoon of yogurt to my half batch. Prepared mine in a preheated cast iron skillet and was rewarded with a low rise bread with a crispy exterior and dense and chewy interior. Just perfect for sopping up my chili. Thanks! Made for PAC 2008.

This recipe ended up being flavor less. I followed the directions exactly and I found that they weren't sweet enough and they were kind of bland. I prefer a sweeter cornbread, and was hoping that this would be a good low fat alternative to the recipe that I use most often.

Really liked it. Not overly sweet but dense and corny taxing (which I love). Good base for playing with. Next time I will add a little corn, jalapenos, and chili powder.

This turned out PERFECTLY! I made it in a 8" cake pan (a rather thick one tho) half sugar and half splenda. I made this in a convection oven so I baked the bread at 375 for about 30 min. I'm throwing out my other cornbread recipes right now. Thank you! [made for photo tag]

Excellant cornbread. Not dry at all. This is one of my PAC-06 recipes. I like the fact that it is lowfat too. Thanks Susie :)
