  1. Same way we make ours with a few modifications. We use almond milk, and 1/4c of honey or maple syrup rather them sugar. Delish!! but as it says above, don't over mix the batter! it dry's a good batch of corn bread right out.
     
  2. Made as directed using milk instead of buttermilk (as that's what I had) and served with Hamhocks n greens. Easy to put together, but for us I think the baking time was a little to long as it was kind of dry so think next time I'll reduce it by 5 minutes. The flavor was good with just a hint of sweetness that we enjoyed.
     
  3. I made this last night and my family enjoyed it lots. Substituted coarser cane sugar for the regular sugar, which gave it a bit extra pebbliness of texture that my southern partner assures me is authentic, plus used soy flour instead of the typical flour. Yum! It was all gone before dinner was done ;)
     
  4. I just made this a few minutes ago and I LOVE IT!! My first ever attempt at "from scratch" cornbread. It was wonderful! The perfect amount of sweetness. I also want to try it sometime with a little less sugar and some cheese as another reviewer did. And maybe sometime with some jalapeno in it. I'll never make cornbread from a box mix again...definitely a keeper....thanks for posting!
     
  5. This cornbread is delicious. It is quick and easy. We make ours with rice milk and gluten free flours. I need to find a recipe for a 12 inch skillet....this only lasts one meal.
