This sweet and spicy homemade cornbread is a deliciously moist southern style cornbread that pairs perfectly with any southern comfort food dinner.

- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/3 cup pure honey plus 2 tbsp
- 1 stick butter half melted, and the other half softened
- 2 tsp of vegetable oil

Instructions
- Place the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients well, then add in the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter and mix.

Great recipe! I made this for my family and they loved it. I must admit though, I used a box cornbread mix (jiffy) and it turned out good. I will try this recipe again and make it entirely from scratch very soon.
You little cheater you! LOL…… 😛

Girl thank you for this recipe i did it today and it was delicious. We cleaned the whole pan in 30 minutes lol. Its soft and light. The best corn bread I ever had almost like my grandmother.

This time I’m cooking it again, only I realized I don’t have any buttermilk !! Ugh
I hope it turns out okay.
