It’s perfectly fluffy, moist, and slightly sweet, and IT IS DANGEROUSLY GOOD, particularly with extra butter on top, melting right into the warm bread with a drizzle of honey. It’s perfection to say the least.

So easy! No mixer needed here! Amazingly moist and slightly sweet. A classic side dish loved by EVERYONE.
