Down in the south having a side dish of corn bread on the table is very common. Not many meals are served without a slice of corn bread on the side. It is almost mandatory, just as having a knife and fork set out at each place setting. Preparing a low sugar southern style corn bread recipe is easy. In fact this recipe you can even eliminate the sugar if you really want to. The corn bread will not lose its traditional taste and can be enjoyed by many folks who are watching their sugar intake.

- ½ teaspoon of salt

Suggestions:
- This corn bread can also be prepared without the addition of sugar in the ingredients. The canned corn kernels or the creamed corn contain natural sugars that sweeten the corn bread naturally.
- Corn bread is a great little side to any dinner.
- It is wonderful in the morning with just a little butter spread across the top.
- Honey can be used instead of sugar in the recipes and it is recommended to use 2 tablespoons when mixing the batter.
- If no sugar is added to the recipe and a little extra sweetness is wanted just drizzle a little honey over the top.
