We have tried many cornbread recipes and always seem disappointed. This recipe is a KEEPER! YUM YUM! I was leary about the large amount of salt and baking powder and about the lumps in the batter after mixing. BUT, everything worked out beautifully! I made 22 muffins, cooked for 13 minutes at 375. We used a course ground yellow cornmeal. This is fantastic! Thank you!

I am giving 5 stars because it is the perfect texture and moistness for me, I prefer my cornbread a little sweet but I thought this my be too sweet for me so I cut the sugar to 1 cup and no honey and I used buttermilk in place of the milk and water and I love it, everything else I followed exactly. I will continue to make this from now on, thanks!

I enjoyed my version of this modified as follows: 1/2 c honey 1/4 c sugar 3 T butter 1 small can corn 2 green onions, chopped. Otherwise I left everything the same and it turned out great. It was nice and moist and didn't over-brown on the bottom or top like so many other recipes.In the future I might dice green pimento-stuffed olives and/or caramelized onion and/or bacon (and replace the butter with bacon fat I wanted it sweet-but-not-too-sweet since the people I'm serving it to are eager to minimize the sugar in their lives.

I?m ?originally from Texas, but now live in Florida. Still gotta have that spice though....love chipotle peppers, habaneros, and jalapenos. This is a picture of myself & my 2 daughters taken in Dec'06. I am working on my graduate degree, & still work as a nurse prn. When I'm not cooking and eating what I cook... I head for the gym to work out. As far as cookbooks, I love the church/ community cookbooks, where someone has dug out old handwritten recipes by granny and shared them with others-those are the best kind. If I had a month off, I'd for sure go hiking, would love to visit Australia and New Zealand.?
