I love corn bread and I also am a savory girl. If you need something sweet you can always drizzle a little honey on it..very good.😊

I also prefer savory. I do not include any sugar in my recipe. Yours looks delicious! I also turn mine on to a plate because I like the crusty side up. I also bought a Texas shaped iron skillet so my grandkids pick which city or region they want to eat. Might as well learn geography too!
