Cornbread old vs new

I tried a new cornbread recipe.  We have our favorite but its a little harder to 1/2 because of the eggs so I tried a new one.  I halved it and made it into 18 corn muffins instead of putting it into the cast iron skillet like I usually do.  It was delicious and may just be my new "go to" recipe.  Here's both for the reference:

Sweet Cornbread Cake (from allrecipes.com) - the "new" recipe

1 cup cornmeal

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/3 cups white sugar

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup vegetable oil

1/3 cup melted butter

2 tablespoons honey

4eggs, beaten

2 1/2 cups whole milk - I used skim

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. Stir together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Pour in the vegetable oil, melted butter, honey, beaten eggs, and milk, and stir just to moisten.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, until the top of the cornbread starts to brown and show cracks.

Just wanted to edit this: baked at 350 for between 45-50 minutes in the cast iron skillet and it turned out WONDERFUL!

Edit again - 45 may have been a bit too long.  Try 40 and watch carefully.

Update.  Used full amount of milk.  Baked cast iron skillet and two large muffins.  Excellent.  Skillet 30 min.  Muffins 20 minutes.
