I practically swooned over this cornbread! It was a total "comfort food," with its custard like filling and with the slight crunch of the bottom crust. I baked in a cast iron pan. I omitted the green onions and used reg. frozen corn (pureed with a bit of cottage cheese) for the creamed corn. I broiled it for a few minutes at the end. This reminded me of an exceptional polenta, and I have all sorts of ways in mind to use this recipe (polenta lasagna, etc.). Thanks so much Sharon. This is a REAL FIND!<br/>Roxygirl2Reply

I made this to take to a chili party, and wow did it go over well! I used white self-rising cornmeal b/c I had it to use up (an erroneous purchase by DH) and it worked fine; I just cut the salt to 1/2 t and didn't add baking powder. Like Crafty Lady I found this baked for 35 minutes or so. I also added about 1/2 c cheddar cheese to make it more like a recipe my grandmother used to make. I don't care for sweet cornbread so the 1 t of sugar was plenty. I saw folks from age 2 to 62 enjoying this tonight :). Thanks so much for posting, Sharon! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.1Reply
