    Dry and Salty

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    It came out MUCH drier than I was hoping for and I think 2 teaspoons of salt was way too much. Most went in the garbage

    Salty, bitter, and dry

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    I have eaten as well as made my fair share of cornbread, and I can say without hesitation that this is one of the worst... recipes for it that I've ever encountered. I followed the recipe exactly, and the resulting cornbread was incredibly salty, bitter because of the amount of baking powder used, and very dry. Please, don't waste your time and your resources making this recipe. I should've guessed this wouldn't have turned out simply by the amount of baking powder called for, but judging by the reviews, I put my trust in the glowing recommendations by everyone else. The entire loaf made its way into the trash, still hot. If you love good cornbread, don't make this recipe. Read more

    delicious with alterations

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    Instead of 2 teaspoons of salt, I used 3/4 teaspoon, 3 t. of baking powder instead of 4. I also added 1/3 cup of grated... sharp cheddar cheese. Loved the suggestion of sprinkling cornmeal in the bottom of the preheated skillet. Also it's important to use the muffin method to combine ingredients, separating dry and wet, and stirring just to combine. It came out of the oven puffed and tasted moist and delicious.Read more

    Best cornbread EVER.

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This was the best cornbread recipe I've ever had and I've tried a few. Don't tell my grandma, but it's even better than... hers! I took one of the reviewer's advice and dusted the pan with corn meal, it turned out perfect. I served it with Emeril's turkey & white bean chili and it was a perfect dinner on a cold night.Read more

    Buttermilk Cornbread

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    Had to throw it away ~ too salty. Two teaspoons of salt is way too much. Checked several other recipes and all call for only... ONE teaspoon of salt. Very disappointed. Is there an error in the recipe?Read more

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    reduced the flour by 1/3 (to 2/3c) & used entire can of crisp corn kernels - can't wait for summer corn to make with fresh... off hte cobb! Substituted peanut oil for butter & crust was nicely browned & crispy with tender crumb - served with red beans & rice - was only missing the collards (it's June so good collards not available)Read more
