I'm a southerner and come from generations of southerners who grew up making cornbread. This recipe is outstanding, easy to make, and very flavorful. If you want a little extra, add some diced jalapenos to the mixture. Keep in mind, this is not a sweet cornbread. As is, my hubby said it was the best cornbread he's ever had, and I have to agree. Today will be my third time making it over the last month.

I agree with TriKelley. This was a moist cornbread and it was easy to make, but it was lacking in flavor.

While this came out moist, it had no flavor at all. Maybe it would be better as a side with something other than chicken, but as it stands now, we will not be making this again.

I didn't have an iron skillet, so I ended up making it in a regular pie pan. It was really full, so it took a little longer (about 10 more minutes) to cook all the way through in the middle, so next time I will divide it between two pie pans. Overall, very good and moist and my hubby said it was a "make again"
