Perfect Corn Bread is the very best cornbread. I have made it for over 40 years. Thanks for your recipes.
That is the exact recipe I have always used and my family loves it. It actually comes from an old Betty Crocker book
This is so cool. My mom actually wrote this card out years ago. We now substitute water for the milk and oil for the shortening for a healthier recipe, and it’s still one of my all time favorites.
This is my recipe! This is an index card that I wrote out years ago, awesome! The recipe actually came from a Betty Crocker recipe that I had! I am so happy to see this! I had turned this in to be included in our church cookbook!
This was back in the 1980s, in Union City, Tennessee. My name at that time was Cathy Foster. I think this is so cool. I was trying to find a perfect cornbread recipe this morning and was wishing that I had my old recipe. I lost the church cookbook that I had submitted this recipe for. Amazing, to find my very own recipe card printed! And …… Now I will be making PERFECT CORNBREAD! Thanks a lot!
This is my index card that I submitted to our women’s ministry at Trinity Assembly of God, Union City, Tennessee. We had a cook book published and the pastor’s wife had collected all of our recipes.
