sugar and spice cornbread

If you live in the South, you darn well better know how to make cornbread. People usually have family recipes passed down over generations.
Here I am, nobody to pass me down a recipe, and I still know three different types of cornbread I will post on here!
What does that mean?
Nothing really. Just that some people like a sweet cornbread, some like it sweet and spicy (me) and some like it basic. Some may say that a certain one is a “yankee” way.  I will have to disagree, I don’t think their is a wrong or right way to make it, it is all about what you like!
