Swedish Cornbread

Submitted by ANN N.

"I found this recipe in the November 1995 issue of Bon Appetit. It is a moist, sweet cornbread that makes a nice accompaniment to breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also delicious right out of the oven slathered in butter. You can prepare it a day ahead, just cool the bread completely, cover with foil and store at room temperature. This also makes yummy muffins."

LOVE THIS CORNBREAD! It's so easy to make, & it tastes OUTSTANDING! Will definitely be a standard in my kitchen from now on! I usually serve cornbread with a honey butter, but this time I'd just made up some apricot butter from another Zaar chef, & it was a real treat! Thanks for the recipe!

As much as my family LOVES cornbread, we had resorted to using the Jiffy box mix for years b/c we couldn't find a decent recipe. Those days are gone! This is the BEST cornbread I have ever had!! It is requested in my home quite a bit :o) It goes excellent with beans and ham, split pea soup, and is excellent heated up the next morning with some butter for breakfast! Thanks for the great recipe!!

This cornbread was PERFECT!!!!!!!!! Light, very moist, with a touch of sweetnes!!!! I made a half a recipe and baked it in my cast iron skillet. For the second "1/2" egg, I just cracked it in a bowl, whisked it, and poured in half of it for the extra "1/2" amount needed, and it worked perfectly!!! I did bake it at 400 degrees, but it was done in exactly 30 minutes. It was really wonderful!!!! Thank you!!! :)
