Cornbread
Hi Everyone, we could all use a little cornbread, don’t you think?
Right now, it’s Arctic temperatures in New Jersey which makes it a great time to bake!
I actually did the pictures for this recipe back in November 2018 and it’s high time I shared this recipe on the blog.
I grew up loving when my mom made cornbread; it makes the house smell so nice and cozy!
It’s the perfect recipe to make with kids because it’s just so easy.
Cornbread goes with most everything, works as a snack, side dish or appetizer.
It can go sweet or savory or in this case topped with butter and honey, both.
The great thing is that you can easily make this recipe into Corn Bread Muffins using a muffin tin.
I like using a large cookie scoop to get the right amount of filling into each cup.
Plus, this “honeyed cornbread” recipe is inspired by descriptions of “honeyed cake” recipes in Game of Thrones.
I love toasting slices of this cornbread in a pan on the stove top with butter and then drizzling with honey.
Of course, it’s totally up to you if you want to do this but it’s so tasty and a great way to have it on the 2nd day (that is if you have any leftovers!)
