I love my Mom’s Cornbread, it’s probably my favorite. I decided though to attempt to make it a little healthier and figured It was one of those things that could go either way. It was also one of those things that I decided to attempt when we were having our neighbors over for dinner. I’m not entirely sure as to why I feel like experimenting new recipes for guests is the right timing. Thankfully it was a major success. In fact, it tastes nearly identical to the original recipe. But you can’t stop at just cornbread. You’ve got to have a good honey butter to go along with it!
Everyone has had honey butter, that isn’t anything new. The question is, have you had vanilla honey butter? Oh my. Oh me oh my! The vanila bean paste takes it to the next level. You’ll want to spread this on everything (I slathered it multiple times on my No Knead Bread). You’ll especially love it on the whole wheat cornbread! This gift set is darling with the addition of the Miniature Skillet
and Mini Wooden Honey Dipper
– I mean really, you had me at mini. Seriously TOO CUTE! I’ve been using cast iron more and more in my everyday cooking and I’m falling more and more in love with it each day. The Lodge 12″ Pre-Seasoned Skillet
is becoming a staple, and was perfect for a batch of this yummy cornbread!
