My husband and son LOVE cornbread. I've been looking for a good cornbread recipe for a while now...this wasn't too "cake"y but not to coarse either - a good balance, fluffy but still taste like CORNbread. Thank you!

I just made this for my parents and we all loved it, we didn't even have to add butter. I made it as cupcakes and they turned out beautiful. Thanks!
