I go this recipe from a long-time friend several years ago and it's my most-used. I love to serve this melt-in-your mouth corn bread hot from the oven with butter and syrup. It gets rave reviews on holidays and at potluck dinners. —Nicole Callen Auburn, California

I accidentally forgot the flour, but it still came out very good. I loved how moist and buttery it was, and my kids love it. I'm going to make more today and remember the flour this time. We liked it with the 1 cup of sugar.

I cut the sugar to 3/4 cup I would not do that again. It was not sweet enough. I would also swape one cup flour for one cup cornmeal.

This recipe is delicious! It's like cornbread and cake in one. I made the exact recipe but in muffin form. We ate them up. Will make again.

very good, I took the advice of previous comments and lowered the sugar to 3/4 cup. Either than that, the texture, sweetness and everything was perfect!

I made this recipe to accompany a family beef and vegetable soup. It was the perfect combo of salty and sweet! As other reviewers mentioned, it is very cakelike. I tasted the batter before pouring it into the baking dish and found it to be too sugary. I added 1/4 cup of milk to tone it down and it was just right when it was done. Next time, I'll do 3/4 cup of sugar instead of a whole cup but otherwise definitely a go-to recipe! Even my picky fiance LOVED it!

This is the best corn bread I have found. I only make this one. My kids always as for it whenever corn bread is needed. My oldest daughter will NOT eat corn bread if she know I didn't make it. It is a great start for corn bread dressing.

I have made this cornbread several times. My family loves it and it's very easy to make.

This is a delicious, cake-like cornbread. We like it better with less sugar (about 1/2 cup).

Great recipe! Very moist and it has a wonderful flavour compared to other "bland" corn bread recipes we've tried. Definitely a keeper we'll use over and over!
