Absolutely delicious
It is not necessary to add sugar to corn bread. Some people do and some don't, but if it is being served with a savoury dish such as chilli con carne, it definitely shouldn't be sweet. And it is a lot better for the family and guests to leave out those extra calories. The government is advising to cut back on sugar and this is a perfect place to do it.
