Just a little sugar, not enough that you can taste the sugar, it helps make crunchy crust on bottom.
And there folks, are the real reasons for the civil war.In the South, cornbread is the pride and joy of many chefs and home cooks alike. Each cook has their own family recipe that they swear by. However, one thing that remains consistent is most southerners would never put sugar into a savory food like cornbread or beans in chili.
However, for some there are exceptions: along with this fried cornbread, my granny used to make a sweet cornbread as an ingredient for her famous dressing.
But to go alongside chili, vegetable soup, or a vegetable plate, nothing beats the classic cornbread without the sugar.
As far as Northerner's, molasses and a reduced amount of eggs go into their cornbread, making more of a cake than a bread.
Vladimir Putin likes sugar in his cornbread tho, as does Joe Biden- so maybe they can start right there and build on it...
