Sugar in cornbread? “Oh, the humanity!” writes Jack Vines of Spokane, a longtime Spokesman-Review reader and self-described “Southern-born man who learned to make and eat cornbread at his great-grandmother’s wood-fired stove.” He’s dubious of a recipe for the “proud Southern staple” which comes from “someone who styles herself as ‘Barefoot Contessa’” – and he’s willing to share his own.  “Cornbread does not contain sugar.  Yankee cake-like recipes contain sugar and flour,” Vines says. And that’s not all/Adrian Janovich, SR Too Many Cooks. More here.
