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

This is the best cornbread I've had, and the recipe is perfect as is. I also made it using half the sugar, and enjoyed it just as much.

The best corn bread ever. Every one that eats this corn bread wants the recipe. It is easy to make and is such a hit.

This was an excellent recipe; the best I think I've tried for corn bread. I'll be using this one from now on.

I halved the recipe because it's just my husband and myself. Wished now, after tasting it, that I would have made the full one. We will have leftovers for breakfast tomorrow morning.

This was definitely the real deal! Texture and flavor were perfect. I will make this one again and again.

Easy and makes a batch big enough for my ginormous family! I used buttermilk, as I was low on milk and had some buttermilk that needed to be used up. Delectable!

This was a very good recipe. We had it with a little butter and drizzle of dark Karo syrup and it was delish!

My family loved this. My husband calls it "cornbread cake." I can't say that it is my new go-to cornbread recipe, but I will make it again.

We made this for the first time tonight and I have to say I will not be trying any other recipes. THIS IS IT! Goodbye dried out box mixes, too. Over-the-moon good!!!

This is an amazing cornbread recipe! It is extremely hard to have only one piece!

Great recipe - I served with creamy wild rice soup. I also whipped 2 ice cream scoops of Country Crock butter with 3 teaspoons of honey. Even the few extra pieces were great the next day - heated up in the microwave to go with the leftover soup.

Excellent! My husband (not generally a corn bread fan) told me to save this recipe and use as my go to for corn bread in the future. Good as is, or with 2 jalapenos and 1/2 bag frozen corn! Thanks for sharing!

I reduce the sugar to 2/3 cup, reduce the flour to 2 cups, and increase the cornmeal to 1 and 1/3 cup. Tastes great! Next time I might use buttermilk instead of the regular milk.

Best cornbread ever! Love the sweet taste. I make giant muffins with the mix. Make this every time we want cornbread/corn muffins.

We've made this recipe for years in our house. It is one of the best cornbread recipes I've ever tried. I can even make it gluten/dairy free with a lot of success. Halving the sugar also works well if you don't want it quite as sweet.

Excellent tasting and easy to make! Mine turned out gooey in the middle even with an extra 10 minutes of baking time, but I'll just be more careful next time. Tasted great!

This was my first attempt at homemade corn bread since we've been married. My husband and our dinner guest loved it! This is definately a keeper.

I have used this recipe for years. I bring this cornbread to family get-togethers and it goes quickly. It is not gritty, dry or grainy. The children in the family particularly love it and insist that their parents ask for the recipe. I suspect that they like it because it is a sweet and moist cornbread. I like pairing it with a spicy chili.
