Bryan's Southern Cornbread Reciepe

This is a sweet cornbread recipe that I have modified numerous times over the years until I have one that I am quite satisfied with. Try it, as I am a perfectionist and I believe you will like it. The crust is very crunchy and the interior is very moist. I hope that you will enjoy!
