Yummy, yum, yum. I loved this cornbread. It has the perfect sweetness level and the pieces of corn just add the right consistency. Excellent with chili as well as it making a delicious breakfast snack, toasted with some butter. YUM. Thank you BK for sharing. Made it for FYC.

I'm in love with this recipe. Was thrilled to find a version of corn/cornbread that didn't use a box of cornbread mix. I did run out of cornmeal and actually had corn flour, so used about 1 cup of corn meal and 2 cups of corn flour, and the texture is amazing. The recipe did require a 3 qt dish (I used a 9x13 baking dish) and I've been eating it all week. It might even be better left over and heated up in the microwave than it was fresh from the oven. Oh, I included the option sugar. Definitely will hang onto this recipe.
