  1. Very good! Would be extra good with some chopped jalapenos, or chives. To fit my small iron skillet, I made 3/4 recipe, but with only one egg. Tagged for Summer Photo Tag due August 14th.
     
  2. What can I say other that excellent cornbread. It's straight out simple and tastes great. I made a half batch to go along with some chili for lunch and now wish that I had made the full recipe!
