Cornbread Recipe Please
From Scratch, tried and trusted, the not sweet ?Northern variety.....
My two college kids have decided they like cornbread so I'd like to make some for them but I have no idea where to start. I am told there are two varieties, sweet and less sweet the latter being more popular in the North, so I'm guessing that's the type they would want. Usually served to accompany Chili at chili cook-offs here...... thank you

Hmm I just found an article that says the Northern one is the sweeter one. I have no idea which recipe I need

One single opinion
I am a northerner and my kin is from New England. The sweet version is the only one I find valid "authentic" bbq places around here offer a version with jalapenos and that makes me furious I prefer to call it cormbread via this early meme |

....but it seems southern is made in a skillet and the one I want is definitely baked. Oh help!
It must be Northern style :/

Not edited to add, the corner pieces are the best pieces
No. The CORMER PIECES. |

I don't like it, I'm not a fan of corn in any form other than fresh from the field on a cob lightly steamed and dripping in butter.... but I want to make a tiny treat for my hard-working stressed-out adult kids who I suspect are not eating as well as they should...

Years ago I made corn bread regularly (don't still have the recipe). I found a nice thing about it is that you can make it less intrinsically sweet and put out a shaker of powered sugar for people to sweeten it to taste. That topping goes as well on corn bread as it does on powered donuts.

Maybe I am a simpleton, but just buy a box of Jiffy or Washington and follow the directions on the box. They are simple and wholesome and inexpensive.
My wife has made corn bread from scratch a few times, and that's good too, but hardly worth the effort. Brownies are another thing that you should make from a box because homemade is just not that much better to make it worth the effort. Cake should be made from scratch because the mixes suck. Just throwing that in there so you can see where I draw the line. |

I am not, however, planning on this being a regular thing, just a nice "mid-semester-hump pick-me up for my deserving scholars. So I anticipate more Jiffy in their futures.... but I want to try from scratch once, just to see. PoloGirl would also disagree about Brownie mixes. She makes the standard Hershey's recipe and her Brownies are much requested

in skillet in the oven with a dollop of bacon grease ,
heat the skillet with the bacon grease , when you pour in the mix it should sizzle , we call it a poan of corn bread , the bacog grease makes a LOVELY brown ring at the top ( the BESTEST part ifn you ask me ) .

that's because in a round skillet there are no cormers
