    3. Whisk or beat all the ingredients together.
    4. Pour batter into a sheet pan and bake.

    Cornbread FAQ's

    Like Your Cornbread More Corn Flavored?

    If you love a good strong cornbread add two boxes of Jiffy instead of one plus the ingredients.

    What to I top Cornbread with?

    Cornbread is famous for being paired with honey + butter or a homemade honey butter. I highly recommend a generous slathering on warm cornbread.

    How do I save leftover cornbread?

    Place any cornbread in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay good for 1 week in the fridge.

      There! I bake cornbread by a bit another recipe, it isn't sweet. I usually bake it when I get bored with rye or cereal bread. By the way, I have never tried sweet cornbread with honey or to eat it as a side dish... I guess, I will try something new. Anyway, cornbread is a good idea, both sweet and unsweetened. Thank you for the recipe! Now I want to try your Smoked Chili. Love your blog, kkep it up.
