Cornbread with Honey-Butter

If you grew up in the South, like I did, I’m sure you learned that a few boxes of Jiffy were to be kept on hand at all times. I still abide by this unwritten rule, but when I make cornbread, I love to add a few extra ingredients. As is, I think a box of Jiffy makes really good cornbread, but this recipe makes it even better. If there’s anyone in your life that hasn’t quite gotten onboard with cornbread, I especially recommend trying this! It worked for me, and now Adam loves cornbread about as much as I do. How many more times can I say “cornbread” in this intro?! Cornbread. Pairs well with my Southwestern Chili Recipe, and this easy recipe for homemade butter. Let’s get started.
