Love me some Southern cornbread! It's that perfect balance of savory and just a hint of sweetness. Can't get enough of it.

Southern cornbread can vary in sweetness depending on the recipe and regional preferences. Traditional Southern cornbread tends to be less sweet compared to Northern styles, which may include sugar or honey for a sweeter taste. It's best to adjust the sweetness according to your personal preference when baking your batch!
