Nicole Terry says
I made this for Thanksgiving, and it was INCREDIBLE. Everyone was skeptical at first because they’re all used to dry cornbread, but literally every single person loved it. I’m just sad I didn’t make a double batch! I honestly don’t think I’ll ever make any other cornbread recipe.
Nicole Terry says
This is Nicole again four years later just popping in to say that I make this every year for Thanksgiving, and it’s the first thing gone.
