Author Notes: I don’t know how this recipe works but it does, every time! The creamy custard that forms between the layers of cornbread makes butter obsolete but I do recommend serving it warm with maple syrup. Reheated in the toaster oven or microwave this cornbread is an excellent breakfast indulgence. - joannE.

This looks heavenly! I could see soaking some white raisins in rum (then draining them), or using dried montmorency cherries instead of the cranberries . . . or some chopped dried apricots, or some chopped figs, or some chopped dried plums or pluots . . . .oh my, the variations are endless. It doesn't seem to have much sugar, and oh, that's vinegar in the ingredient list, too! Mmmm, yum! Thanks for posting this!!
