The Cajun is one of those people - he has a sweet tooth and while he loves my savory cornbread, he really loves sweet cornbread. Despite the demands and myths that Southern cornbread should not have any sugar whatsoever, I've discovered that a LOT of Southerners do love a sweet cornbread.I use the slightly different recipe found only in my cookbook with that cornmeal. It just makes a mighty fine cornbread, and, because of the texture, no flour is needed. There isn't much in the way of that available down here along the Gulf Coast, so I get mine via mail from the mills of The Great Smoky Mountains and buy a few bags to store up in the freezer. The best cornbread, in my little ole opinion, is made with a quality stone ground cornmeal.Sometimes it even benefits from a pinch of sugar. Grocery store cornmeal can be a little harsh and, in my opinion, doesn't make a great cornbread without at least a little flour.So yeah, Southerners are super passionate about their food, and their cornbread, and they can sure get kind of demanding about how anyone else should prepare cornbread.Sometimes Southerners get stuck in a recipe rut of not realizing that what they grew up with might be a little different than what other Southerners grew up with - and that it's all okay!.I love y'all!Īnyway, I have learned a few things about Southern cooking (and cornbread) over my years of blogging, including: On the other hand, me, I'm just a home cook, twice their age, sharing my recipes and just a tiny little bit outside of that league, so a special shout out to those of you who have been here and supported me and my old-school ways and recipes from the beginning.
Support them please! They are hard workers. There are now some very ambitious and focused 30-somethings out there and hey, I'm super proud of them. Boy has that changed and talk about competitive! I started this recipe website Deep South Dish back in 2008, when there really weren't many food blogs, much less many focused in any manner on southern cooking.
