47 comments

1. Butter yes, honey no.

   I didn’t really grow up adding a honey on stuff

2. Butter. No honey.

3. Butter or honey

4. Butter yes.

5. Yes. Sometimes just butter.

   The best way is to cut up the cornbread and fry it in butter in a pan until browned and then drizzle honey on it.

6. I put butter on the cornbread when im eating it, but i put honey in the cornbread batter when I’m cooking it.

   So yes and no I guess lol

7. Sometimes, yes.

8. I usually don’t put anything on it.

9. I have mine plain. But we used to do butter+honey for biscuits.

10. Yes.

11. I’ve had it with honey butter a few times, which is awesome, but never raw honey on its own.. I’d eat it like that if it were served to me though.. sounds good

12. Yes I do

13. I grew up eating it with plain butter.

    I’ve had cornbread with honey butter and it was great. So I’d definitely try it your way in the future.

14. It comes down to if you add sugar to your cornbread or not.

    YouTube channel “It’s a Southern Thing” did a whole video about this debate.

    I’m a no sugar person. Cornbread should be savory, just like corn chips and corn tortillas.

    Cornbread with sugar is just a corn based cake.

15. Just butter

16. Surprised by all the only butter comments. Honey always if available.

17. Honey on buttermilk biscuits? Yes.

    Honey on cornbread? Absolutely not.

    I’ll have butter on both.

18. My family would do this. But we’d normally use honey or syrup on cornbread for breakfast the next morning.

19. Now whip the honey and butter together.

20. I usually think of cornbread as a savory thing, so just butter.

    But I do love honey or maple syrup on ***hot water cornbread***.

21. Husband, both. Savannah born/raised.

22. On rare occasion, yes. Definitely butter. And the best was grilled with butter.

23. Not often enough, but yes.

24. Butter but not honey

25. Not honey, no. It’s already pretty sweet even if it isn’t one of the sugar added recipes. Butter and hot sauce, yes.

    We mostly made it to go with either red beans or chili.

26. I don’t eat cornbread super often. But it’s a great reason to make extra. Just to eat some as a snack.

27. Apple butter

28. Sometimes. If I made cornbread (usually not muffins in my house tho) it’s probably a side for bbq or chili or something, but then later I’ll come back and have some with honey.

    I also like cornbread with cheddar and jalapeños baked in.

29. We make honey butter for cornbread, but just butter is fine, too.

30. Butter and honey or butter and maple syrup.

31. Butter and honey. Dunk it dry in chili.

32. Neither.

33. I don’t, I like the corn taste by itself. But most people I know put butter on corn bread.

34. I’d eat cornbread or corn muffins topped with butter(margerine if we were broke). If we were eating it with chili, I wouldn’t put butter on it. I’d just dip it or I’d break it up and put it on the top of the chili. Edit: Forgot to say, no honey.

35. Yes, but I rarely hate cornbread.

36. Butter yes.

    Honey no……might try it though.

37. In my family it’s seen as a slightly disrespectable habit associated with restaurant dining lol. Real cornbread is savory, topped with butter and possibly onions.

    But at the end of the day, cornbread good, butter good, honey good.

38. I like butter and honey best as well. My siblings prefer butter and jelly or jam

39. God yes, so good.

40. My dad grew up super poor in rural West Virginia would always break his cornbread up into milk and eat it with a spoon.

    I tried it and did not enjoy.

41. Hell nah, plain

42. Yes

43. Not normally. In my family, we put a slice of cornbread in a bowl and pour milk over it. Some of my relatives add a slice of onion to it too. It’s actually pretty good.

44. Sometimes I take cornbread and crumble it into a glass of milk and eat it with a spoon, fuckin delicious

45. No. Sometimes with butter. Usually I use it to soak up the liquid in a soup, stew, gumbo, beans.

46. Sometimes.

47. absaflippenlutly…Funny thing, I’ve been using a cornbread recipe that calls for honey the past few years and every time I bring it to a dinner, friends, ect… I get comments on the honey topping as if I recreated the telephone or something.
