When growing up on the farm my mother made cornbread in a baking pan using yellow corn meal and of course__sugar!
We would consume this wonderful baked good drizzled with maple syrup and served with Ham and Bean Soup.
While in Savannah I was introduced to one of the best sweeteners in the world…Tupelo Honey!
So… here is my version of Corn Bread (North vs South) and served with a drizzle of honey!
