I bought honey butter cornbread from the store once. It was good, but far too expensive. The next time I was craving honey butter cornbread I decided to make it myself. The trick is using real butter. Margarine will work, but it has a much higher water content that could make the cornbread soggy.

Steps

1

Spray an 8x8 in. baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare and bake corn muffin mix according to package directions for "johnny cakes" (aka cornbread). Set timer for 15 minutes, this is 5 minutes less than minimum baking time.
2

When 15 minutes is almost up place butter in a microwave safe bowl, melt in microwave for about 30 - 45 seconds. Stir in honey. Return mixture to microwave for and additional 20 seconds. Stir to fully combine butter and honey. Consistency should be pretty thin.
3

When 15 minute timer goes off, remove cornbread from oven and immediately poke several rows of holes in the top (I use a fork). Slowly drizzle honey butter all over the top, making sure plenty gets in the holes to let the sweet, buttery goodness settle inside. Also pour some around the edges so it gets to the bottom of the cornbread too.
4

Return cornbread to oven for 5 - 10 minutes more to finish baking and caramelize the honey butter left coating the surface. Top should be a little darker than golden brown.
5

Remove from oven, let sit about 5 minutes before serving. Cut, eat, enjoy. ;-)

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
