Boxed cornbread is a tasty, reliable product. You can use a delicious, shelf-stable pantry ingredient that ensures a sweet and spicy flavor to enhance it: hot honey.

Prepare the batter according to the directions. Incorporate two tablespoons of the honey before baking the mixture in a well-greased cast iron skillet or similar pan.

To measure the honey accurately, grease the spoon before pouring it in so the sticky ingredient doesn't cling to the surface.

Adding more than two tablespoons may affect the cooking time, as honey browns quickly. Be prepared to make adjustments and watch the bread to avoid overbaking.
