Famous Dave's Cornbread

Who doesn't love the cornbread you get with your meal at Famous Dave's? It's always moist, tender, flavorful, and baked to perfection. I have searched high and low for their recipe and I FINALLY found it! It's actually from Dave Anderson's food blog and I was so surprised by how simple the recipe is. I made it yesterday for the Fourth of July and I was able to whip everything together in less than 10 minutes. The end result?!? Cornbread like the stuff you get at the restaurant! It was so good that Dr. Sweetpea devoured half of it in one sitting.

Pour the wet ingredients together but do not mix. Add the 1/3 cup Hellman’s Mayo to the rest of the wet ingredients and then mix slightly just enough to slightly blend together. Pour Wet ingredients into dry mixture and lightly blend together… do not over mix …blend just enough until the dry ingredients are wet. Whip somewhat soft room temperature butter with honey. Pour into greased cake pan and then bake for 25 minutes until top is golden brown and the center is somewhat firm and a knife when inserted is clean when removed. Immediately after removing from oven brush tops with Honey Butter… serve warm.
