Very moist and delicious and so easy to make. I tripled the recipe and used it to make my cornbread stuffing. -
I doubled the recipe - cooking time was 28 minutes. It's a good, basic recipe to which I added 1/4 tsp. cardamom seeds, just enough for the barest hint of flavor, but wonderful aroma

This bread was super easy to put together but I found it lacking something. Maybe adding salt and butter would help. I used the 1 c. yogurt and 3 TB sugar. I thought the sweetness was just right. The only change I made was to cook it in a 10 inch cast iron skillet for 18 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Perfect consistency. I will definitely make this again and I'm sure the added salt/butter will make a big difference. Thanks for sharing your recipe! -
I have been looking for a moist corn bread and this is it. Very good I use fat free yogurt and added 1/2 teaspoon salt. Next time I am going to cut the sugar to 2 tablespoons. It was a little sweet for me . But other then that it was what I was looking for Tanks Cj

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving.
I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start.
Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog!
Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years!
I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
