I’m obsessed with this one. It’s sweet, it’s light, and the texture sits closer to a warm pudding cake than to bread.

Real Southern cornbread is cornmeal, no flour, no sugar, and it goes next to a bowl of chili. This is not that. There’s a full cup of sugar in here plus honey, and I own it completely: this is DESSERT. Nobody’s going to be confused once they taste it. It’s great at brunch too, warm or even cold the next day. Just don’t come to it expecting your grandmother’s cornbread, or you’ll be disappointed for the wrong reason.<\/p>\n
Put your cast iron in the empty oven and leave it a full fifteen minutes AFTER the oven hits temperature. When the batter hits that metal, the surface sets instantly: you get a thin crisp crust all the way around, the steam stays trapped inside, and the center rises instead of staying flat.
