That's good. We use bacon grease as our fat in cornbread, so has plenty of flavor.
Oh and no sugar.

Like many things, there are many, many ways to make cornbread - only the one a person favors is correct.

Sugar . . . SUGAR ???
That is corn cake or johnny cake.
Fat of choice seems like a plan.
May try the bacon drippings . . . . the world is better due to bacon and bacon drippings.

Very nice! Not very common in Germany because the wartime generation didn't like the way they tried to make cornbread when the Americans supplied them with corn meal after the war. They tried to bake it like they used to make wheat or rye bread. Bad idea. It didn't taste like normal bread and didn't have the same texture. And they didn't have lard, butter or eggs to make it promperly. And the younger generation sometimes isn't able to see beyond their own noses and try something new.

Around my area, if you put sugar in cornbread it was called cake.... I can take it or leave it I have not met too many pieces of cornbread I did not like....not a big fan of the cornbread where they dump whole kernel corn in the mix, but I can get around that to.

But, not all Southern cornbread qualifies as being "good." Had some at a restaurant in Murray KY. yesterday that wouldn't have qualified for being fit to feed a dog. It was about as poor excuse for cornbread as I've ever had. On the flip side, my wife fixed some for lunch which was so good that I could have eaten it and nothing else.

Mark Twain died before the sorry state of affairs with industrial corn meal struck the South. Our neighbors to the north seem to think wheat flour belongs in cornbread. This is a mistake that has spread like cancer as the years and business of food has changed.
If you start with what passes for corn meal, generally, you naturally want to help it. If you start with stone ground corn meal from fully ripe whole kernel corn, you start with it all there already.

Wife and I love it………but dislike it plain. We make cornbread cake that contains honey, oil, butter, and eggs. Never had anyone sit at our table who didn’t like it. We also actually own a TV and watch it a few hours a day.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Heresy, I know... A box of Jiffy, made according to directions, with the addition of 1/3 cup of real maple syrup.

If this keeps up they're going to run out of stakes and bundles of [bleep].
