Set the oven at 350 degrees. Grease an 8 by 8 inch baking pan with shortening. Pop the pan in the oven to heat while you're mixing up the corn bread.

Mix the cornmeal, sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt in a bowl.

Whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and melted butter in another bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and give them a good stir, just till everything is moistened.

Pull the hot greased pan from the oven and pour in the batter. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Take the corn bread out of the oven and brush the top with honey.
