I make cornbread a lot, especially during the cooler months, & have several different recipes that I particularly like! Now I have yet another GREAT RECIPE to keep on hand, 'cause this makes for, as you say, an AWESOME CORNBREAD, almost like a corn pudding! Another time I might even include a can of regular corn! Thanks for sharing this keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef]
