Cornbread is one of the dishes in the South that can cause quite a stir. Some say true cornbread should not have flour in it, others swear by certain brands of cornmeal. To me a Southern style cornbread is one that does not contain sugar. I will eat the sweeter cornbreads but I would much rather have a more savory version.

I agree on the no sugar. I like cornbread with some sugar, but “real” cornbread has none. thanks for linking up!
One of my favorite ways of makin cornbread. I like a little sugar though =) I also like sweet tea! haha! Try buttermilk next time–it steps it up to a whole new level!!
I normally make mine with buttermilk but I was out the night I made this and I needed a cornbread recipe on here for what I’m posting tomorrow.
Buttermilk – no sugar – that’s the way to go!!! Yum Yum! Add some pinto beans and onion slices – even better!!!!!
I love pinto beans and cornbread. One of my all time favorite meals and you have to have the onion.I’m hungry just thinking about it.
