I wasn’t too sure about it being sweet, but promised to try it out, and have been requesting it this way ever since!

  1. I am making this for dinner tonight, and I’ve got it all mixed up, but it is VERY soupy. Is there supposed to be flour somewhere in this recipe? Or should I just cross my fingers and hope for the best? 🙂

  2. Wow Karly…

    OMGoodness! I am so very sorry…The flour was forgotten when transcribed in the recipe:

    1 cup – All-purpose flour – I prefer Robin Hood Brand.

    Again, my apologies, and it is fixed for future use…

  3. Thank you soooo much. Been tearing my fur out for days trying to turn out a decent loaf of sweet cornbread from internet recipes, and yours was the first attempt that came even close to successful!

    I was skeptical when I saw how thin the mix was, but once it was baked, it turned out just lovely. Will have to give it a few moments extra next time to ensure it bakes properly in the middle, and will have to use a *slightly* bigger pan, since this loaf ended up volcanoing on me at some point, but regardless to any of that, excellent recipe! Thanks!

    • I’m so very glad you enjoyed this recipe – This is my hubby’s recipe that he uses. He’s from down south and is VERY particular about his cornbread. It has to be authentic for him, and sweet!

      In fact, he adds a bit more sugar than what this recipe calls for and its marvelous!

      Kimberly 🙂

  4. Yes, I was considering for the next batch perhaps adding a little more sugar, and maybe omitting one of the eggs. I found that I noticed the texture of the eggs in the bread, though that may have been simply because it was not baked for long enough. Still, the batter I ended up with was quite thin, so I don’t think that there would be any problems with taking out a small bit of the liquid.
