Sweet Southern Cornbread
Since first publishing this recipe on the site in January 2011, I have received a lot of feedback. Basically, folks either love sweet cornbread or they don’t. Depending on what part of the country you live in, you may even have a different name for it. I’ve heard it called Johnny Cake, Corn Cake and more. What I am saying is, folks have very strong opinions on the subject.
Cornbread is a bit like iced tea. Folks either love it sweet or not sweet. There seems to be no in-between. Personally I am in the strong and sweet category. 🙂
This Sweet Southern Cornbread (or corn cake or Johnny cake, or whatever) can be made in a baking dish or a cast iron skillet. It holds up well and goes perfect with chili or all by itself. I love to have a slice for breakfast topped with salted butter and a drizzle of honey. Nothing like it!
