Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Buttermilk Honey Cornbread
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and egg until fully combined and slightly frothy. Stir in the honey, milk, and buttermilk until smooth.

  4. Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Allow the batter to rest for about 5-10 minutes.
  6. Prepare the baking pan by lining it with parchment paper. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
