This cornbread has a good flavor, I really liked the addition of corn and roasted red peppers! However, it was way too salty for our tastes. I would recommend using unsalted butter to mix in with the dry ingredients and maybe decreasing the overall salt amount to 1 tsp (if it won't affect the rising of the bread too much-I haven't made enough cornbreads to know). Thanks for sharing!
