Cooking folks?

Shouldn't cornbread have sugar in it? Every time I have it, it's nice and sweet. I found this recipe to make it in a waffle iron, and was thinking about trying it this weekend:

* 2 cups of cornmeal (wholegrain)
* Scant ½ cup flour
* ½ tsp baking soda
* 2 tsp salt
* 4 tsp baking powder
* 2 cups buttermilk
* 4 eggs, beaten


Then I noticed it has no sugar... Maybe the buttermilk would give it enough flavor to not miss the sweetness? I can't see why making it in a waffle iron would require no sugar, since waffles are sweet...

...where do you find these recipes???

Something tells me a cornbread recipe with no sugar and two teaspoons of salt will not be very good. This sounds like a traditional recipe...as in hunt your own meat and cook at a campfire type of traditional. I make mine with a whole can of creamed corn dumped in the batter, and that helps make it very moist and sweet.

Half the problem with my cooking is I find wacky recipes like that! I'm going to look for a better one...
