I appreciate you so much!
If you do not keep buttermilk on hand, you can make a DIY version by adding 2-3 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice or white vinegar to a large liquid measuring cup. Then add enough regular room temperature milk. I insist you use the whole milk since it can help to create the moistest, richest texture. When making the batter, I usually add some fresh corn to improve the flavor. So my honey skillet cornbread is always crusty on the edges. Caramelized on the top. Real corn inside. Tender in the center. Massively rich. I have to say this honey cornbread must be the easiest one I have ever made. All you need to do is mix the buttermilk mixture and the dry ingredients.
