Perfect Cornbread

For years I've been searching for the perfect cornbread recipe. Most of the loafs I've made in the past have always turned out dry and/or bland. Not anymore. I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and followed the suggestions from the folks leaving comments below... so I'm not sure exactly who to credit this one for since the suggestions were made by several different people. This is a moist, slightly sweet, cornbread that goes perfectly with any comfort food dish. I enjoy mixing some soften butter, honey & a pinch of salt and then spreading on my cornbread. Ymmm!

  1. But what you really need is a well seasoned cast iron skillet...those turn out the best cornbread with a little bit of crispy around the edges...
