This is not a sweet cakey type cornbread that seems to be going around. BUT, this is a good simple recipe. Like Irish Rose, I do prefer sugar in my cornbread so I added about 1 1/2 tablespoons and roughly about 3/4 to 1 cup of milk. It's a not too dense cornbread that is very good. thanks!

Your cornbread recipe was one of three that I chose for Pick A Chef. I served it with your pasta e fagioli for company. I also cook my cornbread in an iron skillet. We are use to a sweeter cornbread, so this was very nice for a change. I liked the addition of the bacon drippings added to the batter. Thanks for submitting this and giving me a chance to try it.
