FROM NOV/DEC, 1993

Since I haven't gotten the March issue yet, I decided to finally cook from the loose papers we've got laying around. I made this cornbread tonight to accompany a microwave vegetarian chili recipe. It was probably the best cornbread recipe I've made, not too dry like most of the recipes I've come across. I did cut the bake time to 19 minutes, though, but that may just be a function of my oven. Here's the recipe for those interested:

Thanks Ralph, I think I'll head out and get that cast iron skillet I've been lusting after and make this this weekend!

Well I went searching this weekend for that cast iron skillet and found one I liked at Gander Mountain for $11.99, very nice 10inch with the helper handle!

Anyways, I tried this cornbread and I liked it alot. My only question would be how can I sweeten it just a little. The obvious answer is sugar, and I'm ok with that, but the science of baking can throw me off. How much can I add with out ruining the batter? 1/4 cup? 1/2 cup? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for posting this recipe Ralph, I will make it again.

Peggy,
I went searching through my ever increasing pile/file of recipes and compared 7 or 8 cornbreads and found that the basic ingredients were about the same and the sugar ranged from 1 TB of sugar to 1/2 cup of honey. I like a sweeter cornbread also personally like about 2 TB of honey added to the basic recipe. I guess you'll have to experiment for your taste.
