The Best Moist Sweet Cornbread

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This is more like a cake it's so moist and light, you may want to add in some green chilies or shredded cheddar cheese --- for a less sweeter taste reduce sugar to 1/2 cup --- this is very good!

Another winning recipe by Kittencalskitchen! After 55 years of trying every cornbread recipe I could find, this is the ultimate winner. It has first place in my personal recipe book. Thanks Kittencalskitchen for including it.

This was the best cornbread. I made it exactly as suggested. I choose to use 1/2 & 1/2 and no pepper. Like some of the other reviewers it took longer to bake than called for in the recipe, but that wasn't a problem. This will be the only recipe I will use for cornbread.

I made this bread for a family dinner and they absolutely loved it. My husband said this is a keeper. I didn't have enough half & half as the
recipe called for; used 1/2 cup of half & half (fat free) and and 3/4 cup of skim milk.. It took longer to bake then recipe called for. You will not be disappointed with this recipe. I tried other recipes in the past and they were not as moist as this one.
