Thank you for this recipe. It pairs well with the 15 bean soup made with ham hocks. My 86 yr. old relative from Ky. thought it was wonderful as do I. My family does not like sweet cornbread. This recipe is the best!

Belle, I put in 1/3 cup of sugar. Excellent! It's just not very good without sugar. Thanks! 😊️😞️🌟️🌟️🌟️🌟️🌟️

Excellent recipe! The only thing I did differently was to use a cast iron skillet (put in a couple of tablespoons of oil and heat to screaming hot in the oven (400°F), the pour in the batter) to bake it.

And, yes, I never put sugar in my cornbread (much less 1/3 of a cup like the misguided John, bless his heart).
