I found this recipe in a Watkins Keepsake cookbook, and made it to compliment my Hearty-Meaty Black Eye Pea Soup 4 A crowd. Being from the South you can never have too many Corn Bread recipes in my opinion. I have at least 2 or 3 variations of this recipe already posted, but this one was just a bit different from the others. So perhaps there is something posted for every palate. I loved this recipe, and having all of the ingredients I needed already on hand made my decision to make it that much easier. It was a perfect compliment to my Soup which has already been posted.
