Sweet cornbread? Ewww, yuck! My cornbread is cornmeal, egg, buttermilk, salt, baking soda and baking powder. That's it. Bake it in a couple tablespoons bacon fat that melted in the cast iron skillet while the oven was heating up, and it has a lovely crust all around and a flaky, almost custardy texture requiring nothing but butter and beans/pot likker.
Sweet cornbread is dessert.
Yes, sweet cornbread with salty cracklings mixed in, served up with a bowl of bean soup and collards. The two flavors of salt and sweet play well together and act as counterpoints on the taste buds. I'm with you on the bacon fat/ci skillet method. That's the only way to bake cornbread for my money.
