Two teaspoons of salt must be a misprint as 1/2 teaspoon is more like it as previously suggested. Two teaspoons of Baking Powder is plenty as well. With that much flour and cornmeal it takes two eggs to hold together well otherwise very crumbly. Using 1/2 cup flour and 1 egg works well also plus more “cornbread” taste.and less “corn muffin” taste.
We like a lot sweeter cornbread so I upped the sugar to 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup depending on what it is being served as the main entre.
For a moister cornbread, try 1/2 cup cream style corn instead of the corn kernels.

I made this recipe twice. First time I was not careful and used 1/2 TSP salt. Worked wonderfully!!!!!! Second time I noticed the 2 tsp and followed recipe questioning whether the amount made sense. Big mistake. threw it out!!! go With little salt and go with the rest. SLOPPY EDITING.
