This recipe has been around for decades. I don't know if it's been handed down through the years by other cooks, but mom passed it down to me. The recipe can be tweeked to your liking. Maybe a different kind of honey, omit the sugar and/or add canned corn. So much better than the "boxed" kind! Enjoy!

  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the cornbread. This will help it rise evenly and prevent it from becoming too dense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cornbread tough and dense.
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
