How to Make the Best Skillet Honey Cornbread Recipe

If you want to start a spirited debate in the South, ask if there should be sugar in cornbread. Everyone has their own personal preferences and while I do love a savory cornbread, I've got nothing against a recipe that includes a little sugar or honey for sweetness. In fact, I'm an equal opportunity cornbread fan, no debate required. Add this delicious and simple homemade skillet honey cornbread to your dinner rotation and enjoy a taste of the South in your mouth.

• Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Skillet Honey Cornbread: Plain cornmeal, all purpose flour, melted butter, baking powder, salt, buttermilk, honey, large eggs and vegetable oil.
• I bake this cornbread in a cast iron skillet and I highly recommend that you do the same. That said, if you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use any similar size oven safe skillet or baking dish.
• How do you make cornbread? For this recipe you'll begin by placing the cast iron skillet with butter into the oven to preheat. Next, in a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, eggs and oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until fully blended. Pour the cornbread mixture into the hot skillet and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center show moist crumbs.
• You can bake, cool and freeze homemade cornbread for up to one month.
• Store leftover honey cornbread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 2 days or chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat leftover cornbread in single pieces in the microwave and serve slathered with sweet cream butter and honey.
