I was a little skittish to try this recipe because the lack of reviews but man, am I glad I did! This cornbread is perfect - just what I want in a cornbread. Moist, sweet, just plain GOOD. And it was so easy to make a batch of it. Thanks for sharing! I've finally found a corn bread recipe to suit my needs.

Turned out delicious. I didn't have any buttermilk, so i used 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar and just under 1 cup of low-fat milk. It works perfect as a substitute because its cheap and easy to make :)

Whoa! Using the 5 x 9 pan caused my bread to overflow badly. Thankfully, since it filled the pan so high, I put foil underneath. It is sweet and moist with a crunchy top from the sugar. The recipe is easy and a nice go to for regular use. I would just use a larger pan. I don't like really thick corn bread, so that should work nicely.
