Best Honey Cornbread

By Addie

One of the best cornbread recipes, this recipe goes back years and I still make it. This recipe may be doubled. (Kittencalskitchen)

Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/3 cup butter flavor shortening (Crisco is good)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup half-and-half cream or 1 cup milk

Preparation

Step 1

Set oven to 400 degrees F. Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan. Combine all dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening with a pastry knife until it's like small crumbs. Beat in eggs, cream and honey; beat (by hand with a wooden spoon) until smooth. Pour into a well-greased and floured baking pan. Bake 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean, and the top of cornbread is golden brown. Don't over bake.
