Grandma's Buttermilk Cornbread

I am not the biggest fan of cornbread, but I really like this recipe. It is moist. Most cornbread has always seemed a little dry to me and you need honey butter to make it taste better. This stuff I eat without the honey butter, I eat it with honey butter too! I make my own buttermilk. I have never liked the idea of buying buttermilk when it is easy enough to make, a lot cheaper this way. Buttermilk Recipe. I make it in the dutch oven and it works out really well. Less dishes to wash afterward. I have also just baked it in a normal glass pan and it was delicious too! I hope you enjoy, I know I do! It is making my mouth water thinking about it. Maybe I will switch what I was planning on making for diner tonight :)
