This was my first attempt at baking a cornbread. I was trying to find one that is similar to a hometown diner in Seaville, NJ called Dino's. This was not the one but pretty good, nonetheless. I baked this up today for the Zaar Healthy ABC game. Here are a few notes that I made and this may have made the difference in the recipe: 1) I used Whole Wheat Flour, 2) Splenda, 3) 2% buttermilk (that's all I could find), 4) liquid egg whites, 5) real butter and 6) Pam w/flour instead of the oil to grease my pan. Thank you for the recipe but I am going to keep searching...one additional note: I think this bread would be very tasty with a chili or something of that nature. Thanks for posting!

this is one of the best cornbreads i have made in a long time. it is moist, just the right sweetness and texture for breakfast, as well as part of dinner. not at all spicy, i bet this batter would be great for corn muffins too. the only change i made at the last minute was to find that i only had self rising flour and no all purpose ( i think i used that up when i subbed it for cake flour in your pound cake, lol). so i just substituted it and didn't add the baking powder. we loved this recipe.
