Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Step 2

In a 12 inch cast iron skillet, melt one stick (1/2 cup) of butter. Transfer to a small bowl. Melt another half stick (1/4 cup) of butter and set aside for the glaze. Leave any remaining fat in the skillet.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat your eggs, then combine with melted butter, milk, and honey. Whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Add your wet ingredients to the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk until you have a smooth batter.

Step 6

Pour your batter into the cast iron pan. Spread evenly across the surface.

Step 7

Place the cast iron in your oven and bake for 20 minutes. The bread should be golden brown, but still springy to the touch.

Step 8

Combine the rest of your melted butter with the rest of the honey (about a 1:1 ratio). Whisk until thoroughly incorporated. Pour onto hot bread and spread evenly.
