Had a last minute request for cornbread and no eggs, so this recipe saved me a trip to the store! Thanks for the other reviews that gave me a little more confidence to experiment further with what I had on hand. I used 2% cow milk, only 1 TBS of vinegar, 1.5 cups cornmeal, .5 cup flour, melted butter instead of oil and added some sauteed onions (1/2 a cup of them raw, which cooked down to I don't know how much, added with the wet ingredients). It was very well received at the potluck!

I love how easy to make and versatile this recipe is. However, I don't like using white flour, and with whole wheat the bread gets kind of dry. If you're going to use whole wheat (even if it is whole wheat pastry) instead of all-purpose, I recommend adding some frozen or canned corn kernels to moisten it up.

I was actually using a completely different recipe, when I got to the last ingredient and realized I had no eggs! I did a quick search and found this. My recipe had similar ingredients, but different measurements. I wound up adding some vinegar and baking soda to mine. They turned out great! I don't know if the additions helped (thanks to this recipe), but they definitely turned out fine without the eggs. Yay!
