Like you, I've tried many cornbreads, but this one is my favorite. It's hearty, but not too sweet. A simple trick is to pre-heat your cast-iron with the oven to get a nice crispy crust, without sacrificing the moist interior.
While I've changed quite a bit of the recipe, I still call it "Barbara's cornbread."She's the type of cook that can make this without a recipe, measures the salt, soda, and powder in her hand, eyeballs the honey, and it comes out perfect. I've adapted this recipe to make it gluten and egg-free because that's how my body feels best, but to me, it's still "Barbara's Cornbread." This is probably the recipe that has been requested by me the most. Enjoy.
