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

    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.
