Awesome recipe! Yields a nice moist (not crumbly) and sweet cornbread. Goes together in mere minutes.

    I liked it better than Marie Callenders! I used 1/2 skim milk and 1/2 half and half; instead of shortening I used corn oil. Yum! Cornmeal will not age in this house anymore!

    One trick to this recipe is to mix the shortening into the dry ingredients first, before adding the egg and milk. Then you won't need to overmix, and the cornbread will be fluffy and not crumbly. I have been making this cornbread for several years, since I discovered it in Todd Wilbur's book in the library. It is the only cornbread I make. My family loves it!

    I truly enjoyed this recipe. So tired of cornbread that is DRY! Marie Callender's is the only I've ever liked. I did (to save a little on fat and calories) substitute the shortening for a 1/2 cup fat free sour cream. I baked them in muffin tins and they came out ultra moist and very good. Thanks so much.
