I chose this recipe because we LOVE the 'Smoky Bones' cornbread, and this one did NOT disappoint -- it is light, and has a delightful cornbread flavor. I reduced the sugar to a half-cup based on other reviews, and did not find it too sweet at all. However, we also created a "pecan maple butter" to go with it (similar to what Smoky Bones serves with theirs) which went with this cornbread fabulously well, but also made the whole experience quite a bit sweeter! Still a delightful accompaniment to our homemade chili, though, even with the sweet butter.

Very good, but a little sweet for my taste. My kids didn't want anything to do with the chili once they got a taste of the bread. I thought it was better as a snack. I made it a second time and reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup and it made a much better side to the chili that way. I baked it in an 8x8 glass pan for 28 minutes. It had a very nice texture and was moist even as left overs. It raised a little high in the center though, so I may try it in a 9x9 pan the next time.
