  1. I made bbq ribs for dinner last night and I thought Cornbread would be great to serve with it so I thought I'd try this recipe out. Mine looked just like the picture does! It was more like corn "cake" than cornbread. I had no buttermilk on hand (and couldn't find it in the store) so I had to make my own and Substitute it but it still came out great. The only thing I'd change is I'd add a few tbsp. more of sugar because we like our cornbread just a little sweeter. But this was still a good and easy recipe and one I'd make again. Thank's for posting!
     
  2. This was great! I have never made corn bread before, and so I wasn't really interested in making it too fancy. I was able to make this with simple ingredients I had on hand.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live here in Utah with my wonderful husband &amp; daughter.&nbsp;<br /> <br />I've been cooking since I was a kid, but really started to get interested in it over the last few years. I'm best at desserts and baking, but like to make just about anything. I especially love to entertain and cook for others. I'm not a picky eater and will try anything once. I'm always making new recipes so it's pretty rare if I make anything twice. These days cooking has me taking on a new challenge to find things that a picky 2 year old will eat and my husband and I will eat as well. It's not always easy but the successes are definitely worth the effort!</p>
