Excellent cornbread that didn't fall apart! We also don't like dry cornbread so I modified a couple of things. I used 1 1/4 cups flour, 3/4 cup cornmeal. I also increased the sugar to 1/3 cup and used buttermilk in place of regular milk. I also substituted butter for the shortening. Just really followed the advice of others who have reviewed this recipe. You can also add a bit of mashed sweet potatoes to give it a little bit more nutritional omph!

Out of the ingredients for our favorite corn bread and not wanting to make a trip to the store, I used this recipe. Was good enough that I decided to make it again with a few minor adjustments... I cut the salt to 1/4 teaspoon as I used butter in place of the shortening. Also I increased the milk by 1/4 of a cup and let the milk soak with the corn meal for about 10 minutes which made for a very moist bread. I'll definitely be making this again.

Very quick and easy to prepare. I made this recipe twice because the first time I made it, I personally found the recipe to be a little on the dry side and not quite sweet enough for corn bread. So, the second time I made the recipe I added 2 additional tablespoons of sugar to the dry ingredients and a a couple of tablespoons of honey to the wet ingredients......excellent results. Sweet and crumbly but not brittle!

This was excellent corn bread! Just a good bodied bread that holds up to chili and soups! I served it with my homemade chili, put the corn bread in the bottom of the bowl and scooped the chili on top, Mmmm good! Thanks for the recipe, it is a keeper and is in my recipe box.

For those who felt that they'd like a sweeter bread, I suggest using evaporated milk instead of regular whole milk. Remember to use half evaporated milk and half water to equal the regular milk measurement. Whether you use whole fat or low fat evaporated milk, the sweetness remains and imparts flavor. For added richness, you can omit the addition of water.
