Grandma's cornbread. Need I say more? I was raised on this stuff. The debate rages on....to sweet or not too sweet, that is the question. Here we can have the best of both worlds.

This is almost exactly how I make my corn bread, minus the butter and the bacon fat. I have always used honey to sweeten and an olive oil for the fat.

Dear, I won blue ribbons for cornbread at the tender age of 10. This looks absolutely awesome. My secret was bacon grease in the smoking hot skillet to give us that extra crispy edge. Now, I'm hungry. Toodles.
