Cornbread

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, buttermilk, oil, and melted butter. Add honey and peanut butter and whisk until combined. Add to dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Pour into prepared dish.

  3. Bake cornbread until golden, the center feels firm to the touch, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 28 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Honey Butter

  1. In a small bowl, using a rubber spatula, stir butter and honey until combined.

  2. Serve cornbread with honey butter and peanut butter alongside.
