west virginia cornbread
(2 ratings)
This is the homemade cornbread made by members of my family. Since West Virginia is a "northern" southern state, we make a sweeter cornbread than you'll find in the Deep South, but not as sweet as the "sweet as cake" cornbread you find in other parts of the country. Adjust the sugar, as desired. Interestingly enough, this recipe is the same as one posted as "Hoop De Doo Cornbread" on the site with recipes from Walt Disney World. I guess that just shows that it REALLY is a "Small World." =^..^=
