maple cornbread

The first time i made cornbread it was a success, but why stop there? So i decided to try many versions and find the perfect one for us! This one recipe here i came across sounded delicious, using maple syrup instead of sugar, so i gave it a try. Followed the recipe exactly and a perfect cornbread came out of the oven after exactly 20 minutes of baking!
