...of baking cornbread on a cold winter morning is leaving the stove door partially open after you take the bread out so that sudden warmth pervades the whole kitchen. Not to mention the smell of the fresh cornbread pervading the whole house.

Must be hungry... A pot of chili and some corn bread really sounds good. The rush of warmth out of the oven is mighty welcome!

Honey on the finished product is fine, sugar during the process disgraceful. Some cracklings in the cornbread with pinto beans and greens, yum.

There is actually nothing wrong with cornbread made with some sugar.
Sugar before or after it comes out of the oven, and the only difference is the texture.
Gonna guess that til I was 9 years old i ate more corn bread than wheat bread. I like it all.
We always had eggs and generally some pork, but a lot of kids I started school with would never have eaten a warm breakfast without corn bread. Some won't touch it today...

We do cornbread occasionally, twice in the last couplw weeks with this weather.
Right now, I am trying to talk Momma into a big pan of spoonbread. Have not had spoon bread in many years.

No sugar in this recipe from South Alabama Old Fashioned Buttermilk Cornbread in a Cast Iron Skillet Put 2 Tablespoons oil in skillet (bacon fat or peanut oil, or a mix of both). Put skillet in oven and set at 400 In a mixing bowl, mix well: 2 Cups coarse ground corn meal (stone ground whole grain is best) 2 Teaspoons baking powder 1 Teaspoon baking soda 1 Teaspoon salt In a two cup glass measuring cup, put: 1 ½ Cups buttermilk 2 Tablespoons corn oil 1 egg Mix well with a whisk Leave the skillet in the oven about 10 minutes after it reaches 400, then use oven mitt to remove to stovetop. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones in the bowl, stir quickly to get an even batter. Batter should be just pourable—if too stiff to pour, add a little more buttermilk. Quickly pour the batter into the hot skillet (it should sizzle). Return skillet to oven for 20-30 minutes, until top is browned. Remove from oven and turn it out bottom up onto a large plate. (If your skillet is well-seasoned, the cornbread won’t stick).

I just finished off a big pot of chili about 20 minutes ago. Damn it was good. I wish I'd made cornbread to go with it. I was remiss in that.
It's been COLD for Kentucky, down in the single digits and teens for a few days, and I made a batch yestiddy. The wife and stepdaughter and I ate a bunch of it last night, and we finished it off for lunch.
I shoulda made a bigger batch, but the crock pot is only so big, and I guess I need a bigger crock.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

There is actually nothing wrong with cornbread made with some sugar. Some folks have to conserve all the sugar so they can saturate their iced tea.

Right now, I am trying to talk Momma into a big pan of spoonbread. Have not had spoon bread in many years. Good spoonbread is hard to beat. Mom used to make it regular.  Another thing mom did was make a pot of chili, pour it in a dutch oven type vessel, add cornbread makings on top and cook in the oven.
