"We had a chili get-together and my friend Pamela brought cornbread. It was the best I have ever eaten, so I asked her for the recipe. It was so moist, and not overly sweet. It was perfect!"

This is the recipe I've made from the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook for over 50 years. I preheat my cast iron 9-inch skillet in the oven and add 1-2 tablespoons bacon grease before I add the batter. I love that this tastes like bread not cake. I've been known to reduce the sugar to 1 tablespoon to keep the bread more savory. It's also the perfect base for dressing. Thanks for posting!

Tasted okay, but wasn't really very moist.
