Creole Cornbread
Cornbread is a staple of Cajun and Creole cuisine. This version is an old favorite, and it really tastes wonderful. I found the recipe in the bottom of my recipe drawer. —Enid Hebert, Lafayette, Louisiana

I made this recipe recently and it was very good. I also used the Zatarains yellow rice, but I think the next time I make it I will use less rice and more corn meal. I had trouble getting the toothpick to come out dry at elevation 4400 feet, and I had to leave it in the oven for another 12 or 13 minutes. it’s a great recipe.
I made this cornbread and it was good but it didn't have enough flavor. I made it again but instead of using white rice, I used zatarains yellow rice. The texture of the yellow rice was firmer (which was better), not soft as the white rice. The flavor was perfect. Next time I'm going to use Jiffy box corn muffin mix and just add all the stir-ins. I'm sure it will be good also.
I found this bread to have a moist and cheesy flavor! I just did 2 changes-I didn't have canola oil, so I used vegetable oil and also used 2% milk since that was what I'd had available!
I followed recipe exactly as written. It was wonderfully moist but lacking in flavor. Needs some creole spices to jazz it up. 3 stars for texture, moistness & presentation out of the cast iron pan.
made this several times and once for a bbq contest, placed second with it. very good.
