No sugar unless it’s Corn Pudding. Parker’s in Eastern NC made the best Corn Sticks ever! I bought the cast iron pans to cook them in, but have yet been able to make one close to Parker’s. I believe I read one time that they were baked and then deep fried. They were to die for. Thx

This is the kind of food writing that I enjoy - how people used to cook in the not-too-distant past. I was surprised to learn that my late grandmother’s (b. 1905) cornbread recipe was one favoring a more recent style.

I feel strongly that sugar has no business in cornbread, barbecue sauce, or greens.
