Corn Bread with Honey Butter

I got this recipe from my sister. Corn bread is soooooo much better made from scratch than from a mix, and this is really easy!!! A perfect compliment to chili (or any main dish, really)!

Corn Bread

1/2 c. butter
2/3 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. buttermilk (if you don't have buttermilk, you can "make" it using 1c. milk plus 1 Tbsp. vinegar)
1 c. cornmeal
1 c. flour
 1/2 tsp. salt

Melt butter in medium sized pan.  Let cool to lukewarm, then add sugar and eggs and beat together.  In separate bowl, mix together baking soda and buttermilk, then add it to egg mixture and blend just a little.  Add cornmeal, flour and salt and stir with spoon or whisk.  Bake in greased 8x8 pan at 350 (glass pan) or 375 (metal pan) for 30 minutes.

Honey Butter

1 c. butter
7 oz. jar marshmallow cream
4 c. honey
1 tsp. vanilla

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl or pan and melt together either on the stove or in a microwave.  Refrigerate.
