You've found it....the perfect recipe for sweet cornbread. I used 1/2 cup of sugar and it was definitely noticeably sweet, but I feel like anything more would be like a muffin. I cut down on baking powder to about 2 1/4 tsp and used a pinch more oil for added moisture. I filled up a muffin pan and baked until golden brown. Perfection! They were gone before the rest of dinner was. This is now my go-to cornbread recipe. I recommend making them in muffin form rather than in a pan for easy serving and convenient storage. These are FABULOUS cut in half with butter spread on a each half.

I'm not a cook by any means but this was excellent - I surprised my husband. My first homemade cornbread was perfect. I might try it with less sugar next time - just for the sake of having less sugar, this was good the way the recipe says though too.

i really like this. next time i'll cut the salt, and maybe a bit of the sugar. i knew that i should have used the full 2/3 cup of white sugar, but i did 1 white and 1 light brown sugar. so my bread is sweet, but not tooth achingly sweet. i love the outside crunch. i did pour it into a 9inch foil pie pan, no spilling over. i'm sure using soy milk would not have been a problem

Amazing! seriously a favourite in my house now. I did tweak slightly, but not much. I took the sugar down to 130g (too sweet otherwise), the salt to 4g and the baking powder down to 10/11g. I also used 80g of melted butter instead of oil - makes the cornbread very moist and fluffy. Also just before putting into the oven i sprinkled a little bit of brown sugar on top. It bakes just below the the surface but remains crunchy so when you bite into it, it adds a nice texture... Deffo more of a dessert in our house but fantastic all the same!

I have been making this with heavy cream, rather than milk, but it's been amazing.

Very good cornbread recipe. I followed it to the letter and it was tasty, albeit a bit dry but worked well with chili. Next time I might add a 1/2 cup of sour cream or plain yogurt to add a bit more moisture, and perhaps some corn. I also loved that this was nice and crisp and brown on the outside. Overall a good recipe.

This came out great, despite the fact I overcooked them a little bit. I made them into muffins and will use this recipe again.

I'm hard to please when it comes to cornbread. For me, a good cornbread recipe has to walk a very fine line. It has to be sweet enough that the cornmeal itself is not overwhelming, but not too sweet that it becomes more of a dessert or breakfast bread than something that could be served alongside supper. Besides that, I don't like it too grainy, but I also don't want it to be too cakey. A good cornbread recipe must be middle of the road in those two areas. This recipe fit the bill perfectly. It was sweet enough, but not too sweet, had marvelous texture, and was wonderfully moist. I will use this recipe again. Thank you.

A very sweet cornbread - but the best I've ever made! My family loved it as well as the folks at my hubby's work.

My husband absolutely loves sweet cornbread and the taste of food from an iron skillet. I decided to make this recipe even though I have never been a huge fan of sweet cornbread. I am from the south and we don't generally make sweet cornbread or use flour in it. After tasting this I have decided that I actually love sweet cornbread. This recipe was fantastic and produced a crisp crust and tender inside. I did increase my oil to 1/2 cup based upon a review on here. It made a moist bread. I will definitely make this again and again! Thanks bluegirl!

Super cornbread recipe! I cut down on the sugar a bit just for personal taste, but other than that didn't change a thing and it was great. Cornbread loving husband can't get enough! Thanks!
