Custard Filled Cornbread

Submitted by Bev I Am

"This is an amazing corn bread which bakes a creamy, barely set custard layer of filling in the center. If you like your cornbread a touch on the sweeter side, please don't hesitate to add a touch more sugar. That's the way we like it best ; ) I discovered this recipe in The Best of Virginia Farms Cookbook. I hope you will enjoy it!"

Very good Bev although we thought it needed a bit more more sugar (just personal preference!) this is a recipe I will make again! thanks hon!...Kitten:)

This is good cornbread! However, my hubby and I thought the custard needed to be a little sweeter so I will try adding some sugar to the whipping cream next time. We also thought putting berries on top of each serving (like strawberry shortcake) would be good.
