Need SCRATCH cornbread recipe to feed a mob (BIG pans!!)--& that holds up well?

Springtime conference w/lots of hungry ppl to feed; figured on split pea soup & a vegan (lentil) sloppy joe bowl. Cornbread sounded like good side dish; need to pre-bake about 6-8 13x9 pans on Wed for Fri & Sat use. Mixes will be prohibitively costly---need scratch recipes. Prefer slightly sweet bread, not too crumbly. Please, no food processor recipes, but mixer is OK! Anybody have great recipes to share?

Update:

MaryEllen, you owe me a new keyboard (DROOL)! What size skillet (roughly)? I know what's going to potlucks this fall (& will let me check pre-making & keeping capacity).

We post dish ingredient lists in conference "hospitality rm" so ppl know what they CAN eat (allergies, religious needs); folks read & go MMMM. Expect your cornbread would have a life expectancy of approx. 90 seconds per skillet, once cut (& would have to make sure ppl didn't walk off with uncut slab---"it's ONE PIECE, isn't it?" Healthy eaters in the bunch.)

Gotta figure out SOME way to make yours as a *special treat* for the Beloved Community if at all possible. With the good "mass quantity cornbread" recipe given earlier, think the folks will be nicely stuffed! (This year's soups: split pea w/turkey ham; lentil sloppy joe for the vegans.)

Thanks SO much!

    Here is a website from the food network for a lot of recipes. http://search.foodnetwork.com/food/recipe/corn+bre...

    I have used several recipes from this website.

    I know how to make cornbread from scratch but I don't have an exact recipe with measurements. I learned from watching my G'ma. Btw, cornbread is better if it's made in cast iron skillets. IMO.. Good Luck

    I find if you use a good store bought mix and add a can of cream of corn about a half to full can depending on how much you are making it makes the most wonderful moist corn bread and the taste is out of this world and the best part is everyone thinks it scratch.
