Buttermilk Honey Jalapeño Cornbread

My husband is a huge fan of cornbread. This variation is super delicious. It goes great with some ribs. You can make this recipe in a 10 to 12 inch cast iron skillet. I have also split the recipe in half and made smaller portions. This recipe can also be found at gardengirlrecipes.com.
