Also, I'm glad I could help you with a gluten free version.

This one is pretty middle of the road as far as sweetness goes. I've lived in South Carolina almost all of my life and most all of the cornbread I've had is slightly sweet. Heck, almost everyone I know makes Jiffy. (I said almost, now settle down)
So I've heard all my life that real Southern cornbread isn't sweet, but I'm almost always served sweet cornbread.
My conclusion? People make what they like and say what they want people to hear.

Thanks for the cornbread recipe with no flour. I have a grown daughter who has to eat gluten free. However, being raised in Tennessee, I must tell you REAL southern cornbread has NO sugar in it – ha! Really! But I have numerous dear friends who make it with sugar, so it's more cakelike thank bread. So either way you and your family prefer.

Interesting, Heather! I have a favorite cornbread recipe (making it tonight with some chili, in fact), which I got several years ago from a friend from Atlanta–a family recipe that she says is at least 100 years old. The differences are very slight:

1 c. flour (I usually use w/w) + 1 c. coarse yellow cornmeal
1/2 c. sugar (I actually cut the amount of sugar from 3/4 c.)
2 eggs, but only 1 c. liquid (either milk or water–they both work fine)
3 T. melted butter or bacon fat

Much lower oven temp: 375 for 20-25″, turning oven up to 425 right at the end to brown. A half batch makes 8 yummy muffins!
