The Great Cornbread Question

[DGoddessChardonnay]

The recipe I use is really awesome (or at least my family thinks so) We use both flour and cornmeal - and I also finely chop of onion and add to the batter.

Moistish and dripping with butter.

Whether it is sweet or not, definitely moist. I make non-sweet buttermilk cornbread and it is in no way dry. I grew up on Jiffy mix cornbread, but now I prefer my homemade cornbread.

Y'know, I picked up a package of corn bread mix at the store yesterday and then decided to put it back. I'm regretting that decision now.

First of all real cornbread isn't sweet as that is called cake, only yankees or their lackies perfer it that way.

Tell that to the numerous restaurants in Georgia and Alabama that served it sweetish with corn mixed in. I never had cornbread when I lived in the North, except for in Alaska.

I wouldn't say that I prefer a dry cornbread, but I definitely prefer one that's denser, not quite brownie density but close; and I also like more corn flavor and less sugar. And yeah, it requires a large portion of whipped butter to go with it.

More moist than dry, but I'll eat it either way as long as I have butter to go with it.
