Thank you for sharing this. I found this recipe on a blog earlier this evening. It is a Marion Cunniingham recipe and in her cookbook "The Breakfast Book". I was going to post here for safe keeping. I wonder if a teaspoon of vanilla would be a pleasing addition. When I make it I will add some vanilla and let you know here!

Made for PAC, Spring 2007 ~ I enjoyed this cornbread, I'll admit, but it's not something I'd want to make often! It's more of an unusual conversation-piece dish! I really liked it, but some of my guests were a bit less forthcoming after trying it! They talked about it a lot, it seemed, but weren't interested in seconds!
