Buttermilk Cornbread Recipe

We loved this cornbread recipe!!  It was moist and so delicious with butter and honey.  Previously I have been using a mix that I bought at the store.  I wanted to make something from scratch though and found this recipe here.  I think this was just as easy to make as the packaged version.  Basically, just stir the ingredients together, pour them in the pan and bake!  Next time I will try some healthy upgrades by decreasing the sugar and by replacing the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.  We ate these with this most delicious chili.  They both make for excellent leftovers too.  Enjoy!
