Back when I was just out on my own, my mom would stop by my place on her way home from work. It was better to get in some visit time since she was driving right by where I lived, rather than her sit in traffic for hours. Many times we would meet up at a local restaurant for a bite to eat & we would always order their giant slices of honey corn bread. We would chat & visit & have a great time. Those slices of cornbread were so large that it wasn’t uncommon for us to call that dinner & then order a big slice of pie for dessert. It’s was our special time together while she was adjusting to me living apart from her. Because of that, corn bread has a special place in my heart & I make it quite often because of that.
>>>>For this recipe – you will need a CAST IRON SKILLET!<<<<<
Now we make cornbread a number of ways. Sometimes we like corn or jalapenos mixed in. But I usually make this recipe with just honey because I’m often serving it with something spicy. The sweetness helps balance what we are eating & cool the tongue a bit. My favorite way to make it is in a cast iron skillet because it creates the perfect crust on the bottom while the inside stays soft & moist. I’m sure you know that cornbread is inherently crumbly, but I’m not a fan of super crumbly corn bread. It has to have a perfect consistency & this particular recipe absolutely does, which is why it’s the one I make the most often.

That sounds so good. I don’t like it to be too crumbly either!

One of the many things I can’t get ingredients for here in New Zealand is cornbread! I can find corn flour but not corn meal 🙁 And the import laws are so strict that I can’t get any sent to me, either. There is one chain of stores that has it occasionally and I shall try your recipe next time I get some.
