·~The Stars
Weigh In
We asked the stars:
Do you put sugar in
your cornbread?Ree Drummond
NO!
"There's absolutely
no sugar in my
cornb read!
That w ay it can be crumbled over
beans or chili without introducing
sweetness. There is zero ambiguity
in my mind about this."Katie Lee
A LITTLE!
"I put a small
amount of sugar
in my cornbread-
not enough t o make it s weet but just
enough to balance out the buttermilk.
I add sweetness after it's done by
coating a slice in butter and honey." ,.·------------------------------------------------------------------·
