    I made this recipe and it is delicious as is. I would like to know how much more sugar to add to make it sweeter and if I used 2 cans of creamed corn would I have to adjust other measured ingredients to compensate. I trying to make the recipe into a wet cornbread recipe instead of moist cake like but using the crockpot. I have my mom’s original recipe for wet cornbread but it’s more labor intensive. Thanks

    1. Hi Beth, you would have to change things around to add another can of creamed corn. You can add more sugar just taste and adjust to what it is you’re trying to recreate. Perhaps this recipe for Corn Casserole would suit you better.

    1. I make this recipe just as it’s written so, I can’t attest to how it would turn out making that change. If you try it let me know how it goes.

    1. I’ve had mielie meal and if it has leavening in it (Baking powder and salt) you likely could adapt this recipe using it.

    1. Add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder plus 1/2 tsp salt per cup of cornmeal. (Yes, still use the 1/2 tsp salt called for in the recipe)

    1. Actually it works just fine. Use the printer icon under the picture of the cornbread included with the directions.
