That's funny. We have also eaten cornbread with sugar in it & we don't care
for it. I have added a bit of sugar, but not a lot. My daughter made the
cornbread for me two years ago using my recipe. It calls for sugar. We
didn't realize she had added it until we bit into the dressing. YUK! My
fault, forgot to tell her I don't add the sugar, especially making cornbread
for dressing. The texture of my cornbread is like you said, more like a
cake, but with the roughness of cornmeal. My husband is 66 & I couldn't
believe he actually loved your cornbread. He never likes anything different.
We have great expectations for the dressing on Thursday. Thank goodness you
saved me from flour cornbread forever. I really appreciate you rescuing my
family from a lifetime of cake cornbread. I know they will appreciate it as
soon as they taste it. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving !!
