Sweet Cornbread

Today, I'm sharing a classic cookout side dish: cornbread. I prefer my cornbread sweet and buttery, which this one is — all it needs is a drizzle of honey! Though I won't judge if you put an extra pat of butter on top.

If you want to make a batch for a larger crowd, double the ingredients and bake in a 9x13 pan. It will likely need to bake longer as well. You may want to make a large batch even for a small crowd. It's hard to stop with just one piece!
