Sweet Southern Cornbread

A piece of cornbread with butter on top.

NOTE: This sweet cornbread is indescribably delicious. It has a wonderful moist texture with a satin crunchy feel. The day I made this, I did not have half-and-half, so I used heavy whipping cream. It was so moist, with a cake-like texture. Serve warm with a pat of butter and honey.
