Gramma Larry's Sweet Cornbread

Submitted by teresas

"This was in our local TV Cookbook called "KCTS Cooks" (favorite recipes) This was sent in by Eric Morse from Puyallup, Washington. He said this was handed down from his mother Lorraine, and everyone knew her as Grandma Larry, in Quilcene, Washington. He also said that you'll love this with chile! DH and I thought it rated a 5 star!"

Delicious cornbread! We love sweet cornbread and this hit the spot! I made 1/2 recipe and only used 1/2 the salt, unsalted butter, and 2 whole eggs & 1 egg yolk. Thanks, TeresaS, for sharing this one! It will be used again and again!

5 stars for a cornbread that is just perfect in it's amount of sweetness. Didn't even need to add butter when right from the oven. And, it was even better an hour later once cooled. I too cut down on the amount of salt requested and also used unsalted butter. This went very well with my recipe#282694. Going to go back to this one again. Thanks Theresa~ Tagged for 123Hitwonders 08'

This is a lovely recipe Teresa. The cornbread was quick and easy to make with terrific results. I made the cornbread into muffins, they had a nice crisp crust and were tender inside. After they cooled the cornbread was a little denser. Loved the flavor that the brown sugar brings to the cornbread. This was perfect served with Pineapple Beef Stew for a memorable meal. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Made for FYC tag game.
