Needs much more sugar... I gave it 4 cause it was easy and this was my first time making corn bread. ??? do i add the eggs and oil then add to the batter? do i mix the eggs as to scramble then add oil does it matter? as you can see i am a beginner cook. Next time I will cut in half and add nibblets.

I made these to serve with chili. They were good by themselves but not with chili since they were sweet. Will make them again. They will probably make good cornbread muffins, too.

I did think 2/3 cups sugar was a LOT so I changed it down to 2 tablespoons and it was still sweet but it was ate, I'll tell you that. It did a good job but I think I'll stick to good old country cornbread.

I enjoyed this cornbread. It is sweet, so if you're not into that, this recipe isn't for you.

I love the density of this. The box stuff seems to always fall apart. We did wish it was a little sweeter. All in all, very good recipe. Thank you!

All Recipes has two fantastic cornbreads, this one and Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread. Both are super and if you don't have buttermilk, make this one. Don't overmix. I do like a can of drained corn niblets in the bread. I mix the dry ingredients ahead of time and then fold it together, pop in the oven, and have a fresh hot cornbread to serve with a salad dinner or soup.

I know this recipe is from Canada, but for all of you folks making cornbread for the first time thought I should let you know that true southern cornbread does not use sugar and uses buttermilk in the recipe. My in-laws are from the midwest and prefers the Canadian version here but I can not eat it that way. :)

This was very easy to make. I followed the recipe as listed but allowed 10 minutes for the corn meal and milk to sit. My husband loved the bread and I think I am going to make it for Thanksgiving this year.

I usually just use a cornbread box mix but it was a special occasion. I decided to make it from scratch. This recipe was easy to make as well as moist. For those who have felt it wasn't sweet enough I think you are used to eating the cornbread served at restaurants. Some of those are like eating cake with a little cornbread mixed in! I even have one of those recipes and you add vanilla instant pudding. This recipe is the real thing. I'm glad I tried it. I don't think I'll be using the box mix anymore.

I've been looking for this recipe for 30 years -- this cornbread was amazing! I'm not sure why some people said it didn't have a lot of "corn" taste, as I thought it was perfect. It is a heavy, sweet, cornbread, so if you're looking for light and fluffy "old-fashioned" (dry) cornbread this may not be what you're looking for. I threw in a can of (drained) Niblets corn, and per other reviewers, adjusted the corn meal and flour to 1-3/4 Cups each, and it was the recipe I've always wanted. My husband isn't a big cornbread fan, and he couldn't stop eating it. I served with the "White Bean 'n' Ham Soup" on this site, and it was a perfect meal.

Thought this was very good...only had about 1 1/4 cups of cornmeal so added more flour. Also used 1/3 c honey and 1/3 c. sugar. Used 2 cups of milk since I added about 1/2 can of creamed corn...Place pan in oven for about 10 mins. then sprayed it and added the mix. Baked for almost 30 mins - but could have taken it out earlier. Very tasty - I like mine sweeter - but have to let others eat it too!! LOL

This was exactly what I was looking for in a cornbread recipe. I had just made chili and forgotten to make cornbread to go with it, so I scurried around to quickly find a straightforward recipe that I could whip up. This was it! I topped mine with a bit of butter and honey and it was so good. My mom was in heaven...lol.

I followed the recipe exactly and was very displeased. My boyfriend (who will eat anything) didn't even ask about seconds or leftovers. :( It was bland, the outside was rubbery and the inside was too wet. I tried to cook it longer thinking maybe it wasn't done, but then the outside turned hard. Perhaps it was the fact that I used rough organic style cornmeal instead of the store bought boxed stuff?

I just read some of the reviews on this that said that they didn't like it and that they said it was tasteless and one said it was DRY!!! You had to have done something wrong. I have been making this for 2 yrs now and it is the best D*** corn bread we have ever tasted. My Mother is from the South and my Father from the North, and they both say that it's the best they have ever had. I am a very accomplished cook and know what good food is and have quite an sophisticated pallet for food. If you have read the other reviews that said that it wasn't good, DON'T listen to them. If you follow the recipe right, you won't be disappointed. One thing I do though, is measure the corn meal in a measuring bowl ( such as Pampered Chef) and them pour said amount of milk into the bowl, whisk it together and let it sit. When it settles, it might measure less, but don't worry about it, it'll be fine. It measures less for me and I get told how great it is. Thank you so much for this recipe! :D I hope you enjoy it.

I've made this recipe 20+ times and have passed it onto many others overseas. ALWAYS a hit!!! I'm celiac, so I substitute gluten free flour with no problem. If making for myself (and not a party) I often substitute plain yogurt for 1/2 the butter to make a bit more 'healthy'. Freezes and reheats well, always gets rave reviews!
