I must have been super out of it the other night..while cleaning up from dinner I realized I left my ear of corn on the stove. I clearly saw my whole family eating their corn..but I never thought..mmmmm..where is my corny goodness. Maybe it was my ass telling me to slowly step away from the carbs. Regardless of my lack of brain, in good conscious I couldn’t throw it away. So like the foodie I am, I instantly started thinking what I could bake with it. The easiest solution was cornbread! Not the jalapeno kind..but sweet cornbread! I know sweet cornbread is not authentic, but I like mine sweet so I’m gonna make it sweet damn it!
This ain’t no Jiffy cornbread mix y’all!!!! This southern dish is for you Peter

HONEY GLAZE
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tablespoons honey

combine all ingredients and stir until smooth
Pour glaze over cornbread…mmmmm …if you let it sit overnight the glaze will just soak into the cornbread and make it super moist!!!

Oh wow! That’s my kind of cornbread. I love it sweet, no jalapenos for me. Definitely saving this one!

You sold me on the honey glaze. Someone would have to hide this from me since I would end up picking at it all day.
I adore cornbread and this sounds incredible!!!
