Cornbread is often a potluck staple, but do we give it the attention it deserves? It’s usually just something to serve on the side, hidden down at the end of the buffet line.

Not anymore! There’s no boring box mixes here— this cornbread is super easy and made completely from-scratch with simple ingredients. If you have a few extra minutes, then you have the time to bake it homemade.

Wedges of this honey buttermilk cornbread deserve to be served right up front next to the barbecued chicken and bright summer salads. And while it goes well with just about anything, it’s also perfect just by itself, warm, with a slather of butter and drizzle of honey.
