Will any cornmeal work ie coarse etc
IMO, it depends on the type of cornbread you are making. A good southern
cornbread would generally not include sugar or wheat flour; I use coarse
cornmeal in mine. Northern cornbread recipes tend to want quite a bit of
sugar and up to half wheat flour; IMO, a medium cornmeal would be
appropriate for that style.
The recipe I use follows; it is a good example of a style where coarse corn
meal works well
