After I whipped up a batch of my buttermilk cornbread a few weeks ago, I decided to experiment with some different flavors. Savory ingredients, sweet spices, and add-ins were all on my list to try.

But before I get too crazy with those ingredients, I opted for the simpler route. Skillet Honey Cornbread. It was actually a no-brainer to me, and I couldn’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner.

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!
