This cornbread recipe is sure to blow your mind. It is sweet, dense, moist, cake-y, and delicious. I tweaked it just a bit- I cut the amount of sugar in half and I didn't separate the eggs. It still tasted good so I call that a success.
We loaded our cornbread with cinnamon sugar butter (Land O'Lakes makes it and it is my favorite) and enjoyed a bowl of potato soup with it. As the source of this recipe says, it would be a perfect side to any meal though.
