Sorry, but this cornbread turned out extremely dense and dry. After reading other recipes, perhaps it's because there's no baking powder or soda? I don't know, but no one in my family liked this because it was so dry.

Tried this recipe for the first time tonight, and it was the best cornbread I've ever made. I put 1 1/2 tablespoons of shortening in the skillet, and got it hot enough that the batter sizzled when I poured it in. It made the crust good and crunchy! It was a hit!
