This Sweet Honey Cornbread is moist and delicious with a perfect golden brown crust.
Fall is finally here, now bring on all the yummy comfort food! This Sweet Honey Cornbread is absolutely droolworthy, fresh out of the oven, warm with a pat of butter. Perfect addition to those warm and cozy meals that we desire in the Fall/Winter months.
I prefer my cornbread to be a little sweeter, and I love the way it cooks up in a cast iron skillet. But you could totally make this in a 8×8 baking dish but I use this cast iron skillet set a lot for baking.
I could seriously eat it anytime of year. Its super quick and easy to whip this skillet cornbread up. Everyone always loves it, and it doesn’t last long.
Even though it is a staple side dish to comfort food. My favorite is served with with some warm butter and hot cup of coffee, makes a delicious breakfast.
This skillet cornbread is a delicious side with some of my most popular recipes!

can you use buttermilk instead of milk?
I have not used buttermilk in this recipe. You have to be careful when substituting buttermilk for milk when there is baking powder in the recipe it can upset the balance of alkali to more acid. Hope this helps Alice.:)
What size skillet or pan did you use ?
I use a 10 inch skillet. 🙂
That’s really good cornbread!!! I’ve tried a lot of recipes. Yours was awesome!!!! I didn’t alter the recipe. Fantastic!!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe!!!!
Thank you Becky! I am so glad you liked it, and came back her to let me know 🙂
Great recipe. I changed it up a bit. I heated my cast iron skillet up in the oven and melted the butter in it. It was out puffy and golden. I plan on making it again with jalapeno pepper and cheddar cheese!
So glad you liked it Debbie! Jalapeno and cheddar cheese would be fantastic!
Does the sugar get mixed into the medium bowl ???
Oh shoot! Thank you for catching that Lynn. Yes the sugar goes in the medium bowl.
