Grandma's Molasses Cornbread
"Sweet corn bread that my grandma used to make, then my father made, and now I make. I serve this with chili, although I do like traditional corn bread too. This just really complements chili."

Wow! This was so easy and so tasty. The molasses gave it a sweet, but not over-powering taste. My husband and I loved it. Thank you! -
This is a great recipe. We love it. I used my 8 inch round cast iron pan which I heated in the oven with oil for about 15 minutes. With my cast iron hot, I poured the batter in. The beautiful sizzling sound told me I was getting a nice crispy edge. I then cut the temp back to 350 degree and baked it for about 25-30 minutes. I know I'll be making this again tomorrow. Easy and delicious.~~~ -
OH MY GOODNESS! My family loved this recipe! The kids only wanted the cornbread, but had to be persuaded to eat some of the other food as well. Later on (since I happened to make a double batch for company), the kids wanted this cornbread instead of a cookie. I had no arguments there. We all sat around and shared another cornbread muffin, since they're easier for little fingers to hold. THANK YOU for the new recipe request! -

Part time office worker, full time servant to 2 growing boys, and 1 wonderful husband! I work for my husband so i quess you could say i'm sleeping with my boss! I love to eat. While i'm eating 1 meal, i'm thinking about what i want to eat at the next meal. I could just live on sweets, and take a pill for all my vitamins, and nutrition. I have no strong passions other than being quite lazy. I strive to be more physically active, but that usually requires me to move. I quess i would rather die happy and slightly overweight, than skinny and hungry.
