Pretty good traditional cornbread, I would have liked it a little sweeter. I did double the sugar, but I think I should have added honey or brown sugar.

This was the first time I baked anything from scratch and it was a complete success thanks to your recipe. Very tasty!

Personally, this recipe was not my favorite. I substituted the 2 eggs for 3 egg whites, and the shortening for applesauce. It might have been these changes that could have altered the taste. The bread was spongy and put together nicely, but the taste was ok.

Excellent! I always make this when I make chili so I add some of the canned corn niblets to the bread.

Used splenda instead of sugar and butter instead of shortening and it came out just fine. I've had better cornbread recipes from this site though. Leftovers were used for breakfast with strawberry jam.

Very Yummy and super easy to make. I made mine in a muffin tray which cut down the cook time and makes portion control a little easier. I also used Margarine instead of shortening and halfed the sugar and added white corn syrup instead to help keep them moist. Very delicious and not too sweet.

This cornbread was excellent! We actually used this recipe to spread it on top of a chille for "tamale pie." The cornbread was perfect! Crispy on the outside, soft and sweet in the middle. I didn't have cornmeal so used polenta instead.

FANTASTIC! I added fresh cooked corn kernels to the batter (about half a cup) and butter to the completed bread.

Made with olive oil for shortening as sugested by others and came out PERFECT, will make again, sooo easy and delish.

I've made this cornbread three different times and the last time was the best. The first time it came out too dry... the second time I added a can of creamed corn and it was too moist... the third time I added the can of creamed corn and an extra half cup each of flour and cornmeal. I also increased the cooking time to 40 minutes and it came out perfect!

cornbread is not so poular in the UK but being diabetic I am trying new recipies.I found this one to be excllent.I changed sugar for granulated sweetener & replaced shortening with olive oil. It was delightful, I will now try adding extra compnents to lift the flavour even further. Great rcipie. well done.........pattie

Great basic recipe. I used vegetable oil instead of shortening because that's what I had. I've made this lots... add corn, cheese, green chilies, and onion for a different flare!

this was good, i added some more stuff to it, 1tbs sour cream,1tbs cottage chesee,1tp onion powder and a handfull of parmesan, instead of shortening i used one stick of melted butter,i know sounds like i comletely changed the recipe but it turned out sooooo good everyone loved it, try it out its awesome.

GREAT CORNBREAD--authentic taste, not to sweet. a little bit crumbly but this cornbread hit the nail right on the head!

Very easy to make! I thought they turned out pretty good but they seemed a little bland. Perhaps use buttermilk or some other ingredient to add some flavor.

This is the best cornbread ever! I added a couple tablespoons of honey and Oh my gosh! My son said it was awesome and I will make this recipe from now on. I did have to bake it a bit longer than recipe stated but no big deal. It was perfect. I may add some cream corn to it next time and see how that works but it's perfect the way it is. Thank you so much for this recipe!!

My family really liked this cornbread, especially warm with butter and honey! I used whole wheat flour and canola oil instead of shortening. Healthier and delicious!

I was in a rush to my cousins babrbecue and wanted to take something along. I then decided on corn bread. I quickly came online to see if i could find a quick recipe with ingredients that i already had in the house and i found this one. All i changed was instead of ¼ cup sugar i use ½ cup and i doubled the the recipe and added 1 tin of cream corn. OH MY GOODNESS it was such a success that i dont even want to hear anything about any other recipes. The measurements are perfect, its whipped up in no time and bakes in record time. ******* This is a keeper forever.. Thanks

YUMMY!!!JUST LIKE MOMS
