Cornbread, The Absolute Best Cornbread!

We are full on into the month of September now.  Even though it's still 100 plus degrees here in AZ I've started to pull out some of the "Fall" recipes in my repertoire.  I feel a week into September means I can start cooking like it's Autumn even if it is way too hot here.

Growing up we always made cornbread from a Jiffy box.  It was good, but it was all I ever knew.  However, now that I am so much older and wiser ;) I know that Jiffy cornbread doesn't even compare to the sweet delicious taste of The Absolute Best Cornbread recipe I'm hooking you up with today.  

This Cornbread is amazing, absolutely amazing!  

Besides amazing taste, this cornbread is so very easy to make.  I dare say it is the easiest bread ever.

Easy to make, tastes AMAZING, and you only have to dirty one bowl and spoon.  Can it get any better?  I say no.

7. Bake at 325 degrees for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Happy Absolute Best Cornbread eating, and may your Fall weather be a million times better/cooler than mine.
