This Honey Brown Butter Pumpkin Cornbread is so simple, but so moist, flavorful, and with a hint of sweetness. You'll never want to try another cornbread recipe again.
Ingredients

Notes
I like to chill this cornbread for about 30 minutes after it's cooled. It gets nice, clean cuts. Without chilling, the cornbread is so moist that the pieces cut pretty unclean. Chilling just firms it up and sets it - no need to continue storing in refrigerator once it's firmed up!
