No sugar ! but most certainly I have to add a can of whole kernel corn , minus the water , it keeps the corn bread moist inside, and does add additional corn flavor to the bread.

Sugar AND honey. 1/4 cup each.

I add a little sugar. When we have it with beans, for dessert I have to have a piece with butter and honey. AND yes I have tasted chocolate gravy. Now, I am one that likes gravy on just about everything but not chocolate.

When I put noticable sugar in my cornbread batter I'm not making cornbread per se, but Johnny cakes. My go to cornbread recipe calls for 2 Tbs of sugar to 2 cups of cornmeal and 2 of AP flour.

When I make Johnny cakes, I increase the sugar to half a cup, and an extra half a cup of liquid then fry the batter by dipper full.

Fry the batter! At last someone who understands what I mean when I say my grandmothers (both) made FRIED cornbread!!

I like both ways...mostly I fix corn muffins with sugar and a 8x8 of cornbread without....

Johnny cakes are for all purporses cornbread pancakes. I grew up eating them, and made sure my children did the same.

Johnny cakes and sorghum syrup tastes like Grandma's house.

Well, to accomplish both sugar & vanilla, just use instant vanilla pudding...delicious!

Sorry but the sugar, molasses and pudding makes it sound like dessert! I like mine a little spicy, with peppers and chipotle.

We are going camping this week and cook cornbread in the campfire in a cast iron cornbread cooker. The smoke flavor makes it taste even better.
