Moist, golden Southern cornbread with a soft crumb and buttery flavor. This easy, homemade version bakes beautifully in a hot skillet and pairs perfectly with collard greens, yams, or any holiday table.
Vivette’s Tips
Don’t overmix the batter — stop as soon as the ingredients come together for a tender crumb.
Southern Honey Butter Cornbread
This cornbread is one of my favorite quick Thanksgiving sides — golden, soft, and just a little sweet. It comes together fast, fills the kitchen with that warm, cozy smell, and tastes like home. Perfect with butter, honey, or next to a bowl of collard greens.
