While I’m really a fan of any bread, cornbread is a particular favorite of mine. And, because of that, I’m quite picky about my cornbread.  I considered not making this because I wasn’t sure if cornbread with a friendship bread base would meet approval, but it totally did.

I recommend smothering it in honey butter and serving it along side a big bowl of chili. I don’t think there’s anything better!
