I don't know enough Yankees to know what they like.

If you like it, please accept this comment as my permission for you to enjoy it.

If you do not, live and let live.

It's cornbread, not roux in a jar.

Cake/Muffins does not = cornbread

Cornbread consists of bakin soda, bakin powder, corn meal, buttermilk, whole milk, egg, salt, pepper, bacon grease, & a cast iron skillet... thats all.

All of this.

If I think it is sweet, it will not pass over my lips.

Life is too short to waste time with sweet cornbread.

By sweet do you mean putting honey in the mix? I like honey in my cornbread.

My people won't eat anything but what I call "corn cake". It certainly isn't corn bread. I hate it, but it's what they like.....

Jiffy is not real cornbread (it is mostly wheat flour) and it sure as hell isn't southern, either in taste or origin. Best southern style from a mix is Pioneer, milled in San Antonio.

I don't even understand the point of non sweet cornbread. Corn is naturally sweet, why not make it better?

I'd never had sweet cornbread until I dated a guy from up north. It's the only kind I like now.

I disinfect Jiffy Cornbread mix by adding a little Steen's syrup to it. It kills any and all Yankee influence and turns it instantly into a southern classic.

True...this is why some old timer's, and me since I watched my grandma do it, dessert is cornbread with cane syrup. Wouldn't need the cane syrup if it was sweet.

Pioneer must have gotten it from a southerner. San Antone aint "suthan"
