Set oven at 350 degrees. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with shortening. Pop the pan in the oven to heat while you're mixing up the cornbread.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and give them a good stir, just until everything is moistened.
-
Pull the hot greased pan from the oven and pour in the batter.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
-
Take the cornbread out of the oven and brush the top with honey.

Cool for 10 minutes in the pan before cutting into squares.
