Whenever I eat cornbread, I always smear on some butter and a good drizzling of honey. There’s just something about that sweet and savory combo has me coming back for more. So I had an “ah-ha” moment and decided to include honey in the batter of my cornbread.
There are probably a lot of honey cornbread recipes floating around in Pinterest world, but I just had to create my own, because, you know…that’s what I do!
