Iron Chef Cornbread

Little Italy's Note:

If you love corn bread, try this one! Its better than any iron chef's! Moist and yummy! The corn flavor is awesome! Garnish it with hot maple syrup with cinnamon sprinkled on top NOTE: Its very dense and moist, not your typical dry, coarse corn bread.

this is the best cornbread ever - IF - you like southern cornbread (like I do). Those who prefer sweet "yankee" cornbread will probably not be fans. So moist and tasty!

I'd give this 10 stars too! I used this recipe as a base, cut it in half, used butter instead of oil, added a chili pepper and did use yogurt. YUM! I'll make this again and again!
