"Cornbread in the South is usually made without sugar, though some regions and many people do like to sweeten their cornbread a bit. It's often the subject of discussion and debate on the forum. I love it either way, but my husband won't even call it cornbread if it has the slightest hint of sugar. This cornbread, with 3 eggs, is a bit richer than most, and very tasty...."
