Add Sweet Honey Cornbread To Your Recipe Collection

Everyone needs a good cornbread recipe in their collection – this is mine – soon to be yours.

I’ve eaten a lot of cornbread in my days – some delicious, some so dry or bland I couldn’t get past the first bite. There are claims as to why you would want a dry cornbread – all the better for dipping & sopping, some say. I can still dip with a moist piece of cornbread, thank you very much. Plus I can then enjoy that tender cornbread all by it’s glorious self.

This Sweet Honey Cornbread recipe has became my go-to. It’s tender and moist, plus has the sweet, rustic flavor & texture you expect. It accompanies any dish, but is just as enjoyable served by itself with a thick smear of butter.

This recipe comes from a friend, who adapted the recipe from her mom. She loved & grew up on her mom’s cornbread. We all know that you don’t mess with perfection – but – this chickie became a vegetarian and the original recipe was made with lard. The lard is not missed in this recipe and her mom approves!

Ingredients & Instructions

Cornbread, as in any quick bread, is pretty much a foolproof bake. The two big rules – don’t over mix & don’t over bake and you’ll be good to go.

Whisk all your dry ingredients together first. Then add & stir in all your wet ingredients until just combined.

I prefer to serve this warm with an extra generous amount of butter. This cornbread can be covered & stored on the counter for a few days. I pop a piece of it in the microwave for 20 seconds before serving.

Hope you enjoy!
