This cornbread is considered a favorite in our family. It was given to me by my mother-in-law. It is a very thick and hearty cornbread and goes well with most anything. You can also add tomatoes and ground beef.

So far I tried 2 recipes containing only 'CORN MEAL' and no All purpose flour and I also get the same result. Soft pudding-like texture which is nothing like a regular bread. I guess cornbread recipes without 'All Purpose Flour' does not give good results. Read More

Good flavor but the texture was too much like a corn pudding and not the corn "bread" I was looking for. Read More
