Cornbread Recipe Please

[glatt]

Maybe I am a simpleton, but just buy a box of Jiffy or Washington and follow the directions on the box. They are simple and wholesome and inexpensive.

My wife has made corn bread from scratch a few times, and that's good too, but hardly worth the effort.

Brownies are another thing that you should make from a box because homemade is just not that much better to make it worth the effort.

Cake should be made from scratch because the mixes suck. Just throwing that in there so you can see where I draw the line.

There has long been a debate whether cornbread should have sugar added into cornbread or not, depending on what part of the great US of A you are from. Having tried and tested both types, using many different recipes on the web and in recipe books through the years, I have to say I’m more partial to sweet cornbread. DON’T HATE ME! There’s something about a crispy, crunchy buttery crust, with a soft and fluffy inside that is so addictive, with a perfect amount of honey. It could also be simply that I’ve been raised with sweet fluffy corn bread to accompany our families chili recipe, while also eating slices of it for breakfast, warmed up and oozing with melted butter. Mmmmmmmm….. butterrrrrr….

PoloGirl was making the Jiffy yesterday, but found it lacking. (Jiffy is based in Chelsea MI, about 20 miles from here!)

I am not, however, planning on this being a regular thing, just a nice "mid-semester-hump pick-me up for my deserving scholars. So I anticipate more Jiffy in their futures.... but I want to try from scratch once, just to see.

PoloGirl would also disagree about Brownie mixes. She makes the standard Hershey's recipe and her Brownies are much requested
