Cornbread makes the perfect side
One of my favorite sides to all the other great food we make here is cornbread. You can see that the other guys agree, since we have Jesse’s cornbread recipe and Dugan’s recipe for cornbread pie crust. I’m throwing my hat into the ring with my own cornbread recipe that’s a little different.
This recipe yields a moist, sweetish cornbread with a great golden color. After making some cornbread for dinner it will keep for a few days, though it rarely lasts that long. I like to have some for breakfast if I have some time in the morning. The last time we made it, we also made a batch of honey butter. Throw a bunch of softened butter in a bowl and use an electric hand mixer to whip it up. Then drizzle honey in slowly while mixing. I usually mix it to taste and put it in a plastic bowl for storage.

I would just like to add that the Baking Powder is a vital part of the recipe.
