I prefer my cornbread to be a little sweeter, and I love the way it cooks up in a cast-iron skillet, tender inside with slightly crispy edges. But you could totally make this in a 9-inch baking dish but I use this cast iron skillet set a lot for baking.

Tips for making sweet honey cornbread

1. Don't overmix the batter, as it can make your cornbread tough.
2. Place the skillet in the center rack of the oven.
3. Cook the cornbread just until the center is done and the toothpick comes out clean.

Can I make muffins instead?

Sure, can! Line a muffin tin with liners and fill the cups about 2/3 full and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

How to store cornbread

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Warn in the microwave.
