    Bake at 425°F. for 18 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm.

  • Honey helps make cornbread moist and tender. It also adds a sweet flavor that makes an interesting contrast to the spicy cumin.
  • This sweet-savory bread is nice to serve either with spicy chili, soup or with mildly sauced entrees like chicken or beef pot pie.
