taking cornbread to the next level

This was a box of Trader Joe's cornbread mix. I don't tend to buy mixes (since they tend to be more expensive and prevent you from customizing), but they didn't have cornmeal in the store, so I did.

It was an easy mix, which yielded a cornbread that was crumbly and gritty (in a good way). I wanted it to be more cake-like, but that's my own cornbread preference.

Since there was nothing special about this cornbread, I decided to take it to the next level by poking holes with a fork and drizzling honey + rubbing butter all over the top - when it just came out of the oven.



The little things make a difference, even with the boxed stuff.
