Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200C | 400F and position a rack in the middle. Lightly grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or 9-inch square baking dish with butter and place skillet/dish into the oven to heat up. (Alternatively for cast iron skillets: heat 1/2 cup of unmelted butter in your cast iron over stove top on medium heat until melted, turn heat off then allow the butter to cool slightly before adding to the batter.)
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder (If using), baking soda and salt.
- Make a well in the centre and add the buttermilk, honey and eggs. Mix together well to combine, then add in the slightly cooled melted butter. Mix again until 'just' combined (don't over mix).
- Carefully remove your 'hot' pan or dish from the oven with oven mitts, and pour the batter into the hot skillet or dish. Listen to that sizzle! That's what you want.
- Bake until the cornbread begins to brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean (about 20-23 minutes). Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh buttermilk: Fresh buttermilk will give your cornbread a tangy flavor and help it rise properly. If you don't have fresh buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help your cornbread cook evenly and give it a crispy crust. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan, but the cornbread may not be as crispy.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: Baking the cornbread in a hot oven will help it rise quickly and give it a crispy crust. Preheat your oven to 425°F before baking the cornbread.
- Let the cornbread cool before serving: Let the cornbread cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Sweet buttermilk cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be served with a variety of meals. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and it can also be used to make sandwiches, croutons, or stuffing. With its slightly sweet flavor and tender crumb, sweet buttermilk cornbread is sure to please everyone at the table.
