1. 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.
2. Mix the cornmeal, sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt in a bowl.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan before cutting into squares.
