Instructions
1
Begin by preparing a 9x13 inch baking pan. Lightly grease it with shortening to ensure your cornbread doesn't stick.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and softened butter. Mix until creamy.

Add the eggs, milk, honey, and water. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: white cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. Ensure they're evenly mixed.
6
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously. Mix until just combined; some lumps are okay.
7
Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
8
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is a luscious golden brown.
