I made this and took it to a couple of BBQ's and parties over the summer and it was a HIT each time! And anytime I have made this with a dinner we fight for pieces the next day. :) This is the best cornbread recipe I have ever made.. and believe me, I have tried MANY over the years searching for that perfect one.. So glad I finally found one that everyone, including myself, LOVES!
