Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a small bowl, use a fork to smash and stir together ½ cup room-temperature unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons honey, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
-
Step 2.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or an 8-inch square baking dish.
-
Step 3.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup fine cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
-
Step 4.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup whole milk, 2 large eggs, and 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
-
Step 5.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
-
Step 6.
Scrape the batter into the prepared skillet or baking dish and spread evenly.
-
Step 7.
Bake until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 17 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving with the honey butter.
