This recipe is from my late ex-mother in-law. She was a southern belle, and she didn't bake no corn cake (as she called the northern cornbread I grew up with)" not too much flour now" she'd tell me, "or you'll get cake." I like to add about a half cup of sugar to get the top dark golden brown but, here is the original recipe that she gave me.
