Wr, do you use buttermilk or milk? The ingredient list says milk but your instructions say buttermilk.

I've used both. It all depends on what we have on hand (as it is 50 miles round trip to the grocery store). Good catch Mary!!!

NOTE: I edited the recipe to read 'milk' as that is much more likely to be on hand in most households & doesn't change the taste all that much.

Ma makes this. Couldn't imagine how good it would be made with home-grown corn.

I made a batch of that last week, but layered browned sausage and cheese in the middle. There is no fail in cornbread! Yours looks yummy!

Uh...... I just told an untruth......I did have a fail in cornbread. When my daughter was 8 or 9, she asked for cornbread one night, so I made some. I took it out of the oven and not only did it not rise, but it sank and became even more dense. So we took it outside and played Frisbee with it while the dogs tried to catch it so they could eat it. We had a blast and it finally fell apart, much to the dogs delight.
