Corny Cornbread

Is it legal to have a steamy slice of corn bread without a dollop of honey butter?  Absolutely not-- a crime at the very core... or "corn" in this case, which is why I'm including a quick honey butter recipe.  I came across a cute kid's cookbook called "Simply in Season Children's Cookbook," with recipes to match the year-round harvest.  I love that idea!  This made some great moist cornbread!  I used plain yogurt and milk combination.  It was really good!
