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.

Moist and firm (but not too dense), a good cornbread for pouring beans or stew over, it holds together well when soaked. To me it has just the right amount of sweetness without being over-sweet. I will make this again but next time I may omit 1 egg because I like cornbread slightly less firm, the eggs I use are pretty big so smaller eggs may be just right. Great taste, I liked it a lot.
