  1. This was the first time making a large batch of cornbread. I followed your recipe exactly and it turned out disappointing. You would think 5 cups of cornmeal it would taste like cornbread but it doesn’t at all. It puffed up in the middle and then deflated once it cooled. Disappointed because I have a nursing home waiting for cornbread.

  2. Looking to cook cornbread for 50 guest using selfrising meal need a recipe for how many eggs, how much flour,and how much buttermilk ,shorting.help me please,thanks
