Pardon me, BabyblueeyesJacque, your comment sounds like you've never had TastyKake's sweet corn cakes. They are suitable for toasting, then spreading with sweet butter. They are so scrumptious, you should try them & not knock sweet cornbread.

If u were raised eating sweet cornbread, then I can understand. I was raised eating this way. & Like Mark Lowlry says. U don't put sugar in cornbread. It a bread not a cake. Byt the way. If u don't know who Mark is. He is from the Gaither Gospel Music. Jacque, Virginia Beach. Va.

Good, basic corn bread recipe. I increase to 2 eggs. Makes the consistency less crumbly.

I agree 100% with BabyblueeyesJacque. why on earth would anyone want to put sugar in their cornbread?? UUUGGGHHHH YUCKY! Maybe its just a southern thing. As far as the recipe. I loved it. Sure it was a tad bland, but my husband & I loved it just the same with black bean and ham soup! :) We used it to sop of the liquid :) YUMMMM! Recommend it anyday of the week WITHOUT SUGAR!!!!!

I don't understand why people want to put sugar in cornbread. It is a bred not a cake. I use 1cup of corn meal, ( self rising)1cup of self rising flour1egg,sprinkle in my garlic, parsleyadd buttermilk until desired consist. I make mine thin.Pour into a hot skillet of grease, bake until golden brown. Oven should be 400degees. I put the timer on 30 mins. check it, if not done I had another 5 mins. It depends on the oven. Also very good in hot bacon grease, instead of just plain grease.

Like others said, the recipe was a tad bit flavorless, but I used a cup of sugar instead and using sweet cream butter gave it a nice smooth taste.

Several members of our fellowship raved about this cornbread. I doubled the ingredients but put in 1 cup of sugar and used veg. oil instead of butter.

This is what 'real' corn bread should taste like. I might add a tad more salt next time. It isn't what you get in famous restaurants, they add cake mix to the cornbread mix. I will use this recipe from now on - no more boxed mixes. Not only is it delicous, it's so much healthier. Excellent recipe.

I loved the simplicity but it really lacks flavor. I would add more sugar or make some apple butter to go with this recipe.

This was easy (I had all the ingredients!) and I added a 4 oz. can of diced green chilies. My husband ate 3 1/2 of the 9 pieces. Definitely a keeper!

I have tried this twice, the texture is spot on good, but it seriously lacks any flavor. Second time around I bumped up the sugar and used some honey butter, was a bit better.Try with added a bit more sweetness, or even some garlic and herbs and a bit of cheese
