    I substituted .5 cup of whole wheat flour for the 1 cup of white flour (the first time I used a whole cup as a substitution, but it was too heavy). I also used Splenda instead of sugar. I used a dry buttermilk powder which was 0.3% fat. The cornbread was fluffy and excellent with much higher fiber - 10/10/08

    you can make it "good for you" if you omit the white flour. use all cornmeal, subsitute honey for sugar and healthy oil for butter. use any liquid- water, soymilk, apple juice if you need it which you may not with the honey and oil. use whites, eggbeaters,if you don't use whole eggs. it works- yum - 1/11/08

    Speaking as one who has made cornbread all my life, sugar is not put in cornbread. If you must, use only 2 tbs. per batch. Cornbread is at its best when you make it to your taste, i.e., substitute low fat sour cream or plain yogurt or cream corn for some of the milk; add cheese, peppers, etc. - 1/12/09

    There are margarines that have no TFAs.
    Cutting an 8" square pan into 10 pieces is not rocket science...what is it with people who insist on crapping on people's recipes???????????????

    To get 10 servings, think corn 'sticks'. Down the middle one way, and 5 rows the other. (about 1.5" x 4") - 1/11/09
