Whole Grain Cornbread

I love baking this cornbread in an 8-inch cast iron skillet, but it works great in a cake pan, too!

This recipe has a mild sweetness to it. If you're a northerner, increase the sugar by a few tablespoons. If you're a southerner, decrease the sugar a tad or leave it out entirely! But I have noticed that a little sugar does help it raise fluffier. You can also increase the corn flour and decrease the whole wheat flour. You can adjust it to your preference!
