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.

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!

This is a very good and moist cornbread. really liked the flavor. Only thing is too much flour - causing it to have too much of a "cake" texture. Next time I make this I think I will add less flour and more cornmeal. Overall a very good cornbread,better than any other recipe I've tried.

I have used this recipe exclusively since the 2002 Taste of Home Recipe book was delivered. We always have this with Ham 'n Beans.

I have made this many times for my family. My kids LOVE this . . . we refer to it as "corncake" because it is so delicious. It reminds me of what is served at Marie Calender's restaurant.

I've been looking for a good corn bread recipe. I've tried several others but nothin compares to this one. I added chopped jalepeno for the hubby though. All in all, 5 stars! Oh don't forget to spread butter!

The only cornbread I make! So moist and buttery! It puts traditional cornbread to shame.

This is my standard corn bread recipe, too. We prefer it a little less sweet so I decreased the sugar to 2/3 c. and that works well for us.
