Nothing beats a pan of warm cornbread cooling on the counter, especially when it is brushed with buttery honey while still fresh from the oven. This version is soft and tender with just the right balance of sweet flavor and classic cornmeal texture.

It is the kind of recipe that fits right into busy weeknights, family gatherings, and holiday spreads. Serve it on the side or enjoy a slice on its own, because it is just that good either way.
