Cooking Notes

After being disappointed in several corn bread recipes, this is a winner! So quick and easy and delicious. I like to throw in some frozen corn if I have it.

Used a cast iron skillet rubbed w (raw) house-smoked bacon and continued as written.

I used maple syrup instead of sugar and butter instead of oil to rave reviews

I really like corn bread recipes that use more cornmeal than flour, and not too much sugar, so this met all my expectations. I actually halved the sugar, and still liked it. Watch it carefully while baking. Maybe it's the oven I used, but it was ready in less than 15 minutes.

I cut the flour slightly and upped the cornmeal, plus added some chopped sundried tomatoes and loved it. People are right - it cooks quickly!

I imagine it took longer because of the substitution of yoghurt. The added fat from the yoghurt likely added to your cooking time.

Really good. Used 1/2 cup yogurt and 1/2 cup milk. Increase salt a bit.

100% best cornbread recipe I have made! Nice and moist and flavorful. I did throw in a small can of diced green chilis and a handful of roasted corn, but even if I had not, it would have been delectable!

Very good

Beautiful recipe. Followed as written with excellent result. Cooked in 8x8 inch pan; done in 14 min. Didn’t want to make special trip to grocery, so I made my buttermilk sub (1T lemon juice, with milk to measure 1cup; rest 10 minutes). Did the trick.

Too salty and plain. Will not make again.

I made muffins with this recipe: 12 mins in the oven and delish! Per recommendations in the notes, I subbed butter for oil, 1/2 c milk & 1/2 c yogurt for buttermilk, 1 T maple syrup for 2 T sugar, and used a little more corn meal and a little less flour. Just how I like them—not cake!

Used 2T butter 2 T peanut oil 1/4 c polenta rest medium grind While we flour maple syrup 1 T Frozen grilled corn kernels

Liked this recipe & used larger cast iron skillet so it was a little flat. Done in15 minutes. Will try real buttermilk and melted butter next time & maybe frozen corn.

This is the THE BEST recipe for cornbread! It is easy and delicious. I used good quality real buttermilk and also excellent stone-ground coarse cornmeal. It was moist and the taste was terrific. The ratio of cornmeal to flour was good -- I preferred to 1/2 and 1/2 in other recipes. I greased the pan with butter, heated in oven, and used brush to cover sides and bottom and poured excess into batter. 15 minutes was almost perfect timing. 5✩

I cooked this for 12 minutes since many seemed to think 15 was too much, and it was absolutely raw. So I put it back in for 10 more minutes and that did the trick. Otherwise followed the recipe, except used plain yogurt instead of buttermilk. I liked the consistency. Will make it again.

I imagine it took longer because of the substitution of yoghurt. The added fat from the yoghurt likely added to your cooking time.

Used only one heaping tbl of sugar. Also used olive oil and whole wheat pastry flour instead of all-purpose flour. We ate this topped with ground turkey meat, kidney bean, and chipotle pepper chili. Yum!

I made this for 100 in just a few hours! 12 8x8 pans, 2 at a time. Baked, cooled, and wrapped for the freezer in just a day. I added crumbles of fried sage and smashed sumac for a little citrus punch. I didn't think I could make cornbread - I was wrong!
