Directions:

1. Set oven to 400 degrees F.

I can't have enough of this cornbread. I used butter since i had no crisco. This really is a good cornbread. I highly recommend making this

This is the most delicious conbread I have ever made!!! I used buttermilk in place of half and half, (after asking KITTENCAL) and butter, slightly less than a full teaspoon of salt. I baked the cornbread in my 10-in cast iron skillet at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. I will use this recipe often!

Very good! We like to eat this topped with a little butter and maple syrup. I didn't have butter flavor shortening so I used butter. Not overly sweet, I might actually add a couple TBSP of sugar next time.
