I love chipotles and was so excited to try this cornbread recipe. Very good and spicy. I served it on New Year's Day with black-eyed peas and turnip greens. Had a dense but tender texture. Slathered on some real butter. Yes mam, gets a thumbs up from my family.

Dh, the family cornbread eater gives this one a thumbs up. I used a 10" skillet but would switch to a 9" next time (if I owned one). In lieu of that, I'll reduce the baking temp to 425° as the center of the bread was very moist but the crust was just short of burnt.

This cornbread is super delicious. A nice, spicy blend. I used all buttermilk instead of using sweet milk, and the results were excellent! I added a light coat of bacon drippings to the pan before heating the pan, so the cornbread comes out with a lovely brown, crispy bottom. We really did enjoy this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe! Definately a "repeater" at my house!

It was alright but somehow it tasted too eggy. It was a little dry for us.
