Well, guess that explains it then, as I live about as far North as one
can get, and have never been down South, so for me, cornbread/muffins
taste 'blah' to me without any sugar. My mother always made them from
scratch and was sugar in the batter, so that's the way I like it best.
I will use a Jiffy mix in a pinch for certain things though, but not for
just regular corn bread, or muffins. I like Albertson's yellow cornmeal
and the recipes on the box..that call for some sugar added. Don't want
any dry, tasteless cornbread!
