Cornbread?

[andy52]

a little sugar is alright, but I don't want it to taste like candy.

White or yellow corn meal. Just depends on my mood at the time if I add a touch of honey or not. When it’s with meat that’s BBQ sauced, usually forego the honey. But I want it warm to melt the butter.

How do y'all like cornbread? Sweet or no?
Funny thing is, most folks say Southern cornbread should not be sweet, but the sweet Martha White mix sells VERY well in the South.
Also, I like to sometimes fry some hot water cornbread (Don't put corn in that though- pops very badly, caught it in the face once).

Not sweetened.
But i have to use pork fat to cook it or it aint right for me. But i am a yankee so i might not know the custom out wedt or south.

One of my favorite childhood memories is having a bowl of cornbread and milk!!

Any but cracklin cornbread...cracklins are little rock hard pork rind/fat left overs (where I'm from).
Too hard for me (love pork rinds though.)

Muffins are sweet and go good with chilibeans and suchlike. Cornbread is NOT sweet.

My Grampaw made the best cracklin' cornbread but he used the little brown chunks of fat left from renderin' the lard.

Hmmm, definitely an American thing, not so big in Aus that I have found..BUT... we do make it at home. The best is when I don't have to make it, wife makes with jalapeno's for sure. I don't know if the recipe that I have compares to you guys, now have to go home and dig it up. Just as long as it will soak up lots of gravy, bring it on.

Raised on un-sweetened cornbread, still prefer it that way. But I won’t turn away from sweetened either. It’s a shame, but I can’t even remember the last time I ate some. Sure enjoy hot, buttered cornbread though.

I'm the only one eats corn bread at my house. Wife is a city gal , and ony occasionaly do I find a chunk of MY bread missing. I add extra sugar to the recepie.......I like it w/ hot black coffee , anytime.

The way some people make what they call 'cornbread' they might as well add a little more sugar, some vanilla extract, and put some chocolate icing on it when they're done.

Sometimes I will make corn bread and add crumbled bacon (if you can get them bacon ends are best) a well-drained can of sweet corn (or left over cut off the cob corn is better) and a hand full of good sharp grated cheddar cheese, even been known to throw in a pinch of jalapeno sliced peppers. Sun dried chopped tomatoes is also a nice addition occasionally. And always use butter milk for the batter.

You sold me, I don’t have any butter milk here, but I have everything else. I’m going to make some tomorrow, if not tonight!

Cornbread is like pizza and ****ies, no such thing as a bad one, just some better than others.

Wife makes the cornbread, don't know the recipe. It is her Great Gran's recipe and steel pan. The pan is 130 years old. What ever she does it is good eating!!!

Try chopped Hatch chilis in your cornbread; it's a great wake-up meal w/ strong camp coffee. Drizzle it w/ honey for the energy to face even a rainy morning.

Use a bit of sour cream in the milk or take regular milk add a bit of vinegar let sit a few mins that works also.

Unsweetened is best for me. A little touch of sweetening is ok.
