My husband never liked corn bread until I started making this recipe - then he'd eat half of it. I like to serve it piping hot with lots of real butter on the side. -Betty Kaytis, Elizabethton, Tennessee

I am gluten intolerant and this recipe is great.  Thanks for sharing!

Don't knock it until you try it. This is the best cornbread I've eaten in years. I did decrease the sugar in half. Will make this again for sure!!

Wow, ladies! How critical you are! No, it is not a typical cornbread recipe, but that is the purpose of new recipes: to try something new. As to the debate on yellow cornmeal not being southern; in Texas (which is about as south as you get get), it is a matter of preference. Lighten Up!

If that's not how to make cornbread, How is it made then?

I agree with these ladies and add one other thing. YELLOW CORN MEAL JUST AIN'T SOUTHERN. Dh's grandfather owned his own gristmill, he said yellow corn was only for animal feed.

This type of cornbread is more like the flavor and texture of a muffin.  I consider it more of a cake and not real cornbread.

Agree with Carol,no sugar,or mayo,and you made more then two servings so you could dunk some cornbread with the rest of the buttermilk

I grew up in West Tennessee and agree with Carol. That is not the way we make cornbread here. Some folks do add a little sugar but the true cornbread eaters make it just as Carol described - with old fashioned buttermilk and no sugar or mayo. M Miller

Grew up in West Tennessee, not the way we make cornbread there. Real West Tenn. cornbrean has neither sugar or mayo...just good old fashioned buttermilk.
