A sweet and moist cornbread that perfectly complements your favorite chili and evokes warm memories.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup honey

  7. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture without overmixing.
  8. Remove the hot skillet from the oven, grease it with the reserved butter, and pour in the batter.
  9. Bake at 375°F for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
