Stir all dry ingredients then add the remaining ingredients
Pour onto a greased 9-inch pan
Bake for 20-25 minutes. ( for best results use a cast iron frying pan. Place in oven 10 minutes prior to baking, add 1 Tb of butter to pan then add the batter)
My wife has a sweet tooth; she recommends doubling the honey if you are making the cornbread for breakfast.
