Morrison's white cornbread mix. I know, it's from a package. I've never
been able to make cornbread that didn't have the taste and texture of sand.

Morrison's blows the socks off any cornbread I've had anyplace else.

I just made a batch to go with the chili we had for dinner.

If it doesn't have the texture of sand, then it's cake, not cornbread.

But, then, it becomes a question of "northern" vs. "southern" cornbread. Two
entirely different animals.

Have to admit that I've never seen it nor tried it. It might be different
than any others I've tried.

Obviously, it's a matter of personal preference, not whether it's right or
wrong. I've never tasted "cornbread" from a mix that really tasted like
cornbread to me.

I've never heard of Morrison's either, must be a regional thing. I
pretty much follow Wayne's recipe posted earlier. A skillet of good
cornbread is a thing of beauty, and no flour either.

I prefer my cornbread to be slightly sweet & nicely moist (GREAT for
using leftovers in cornbread cush the next morning for breakfast!). I
have a recipe that I use, but I'll have to dig it up. In NC, I loved
to make cornbread & serve it with Brummel & Brown spread -- the
blueberry was delightful -- or honeybutter.

I also make a tasty Mexican cornbread with onions, cheese, jalapenos, &
creamed corn.

Once in a blue moon I'll add a tablespoon of sugar to the batter, but I
usually like it just a bit salty. If there's leftovers, I either butter the
cut side and put it under the broiler, or crumble it into buttermilk.

A horse of a different color, and also delicious!
