Cornbread hot from the oven and slathered with honey butter anyone? Yes, please! This cornbread is the perfect consistency and has tremendous flavor. Many cornbread's are made from mixes, but this is just as simple, and more tasty! The buttermilk and butter are the key elements to it's goodness. As my youngest son says, "Is this the cornbread without the corn?" because he doesn't realize the cornmeal is what makes it cornbread. He's just worried about having a vegetable in his bread. 😂 Served with a bowl of soup, this is divine!
