Lightly grease a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or 9-inch baking pan with butter and place it in the oven on the middle rack.
2 tbsp Butter
Wet ingredients – Combine buttermilk, honey, eggs, and melted butter in a bowl – Set aside.
2 Eggs, 1 cup Buttermilk, 2 tbsp Honey, ½ cup Butter
Dry ingredients – In another bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
1 cup Yellow cornmeal, 1 cup All-purpose Flour, 2 ½ tsp Baking powder, ½ tsp Baking soda, ½ tsp Salt
Wet to dry: Now combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, using a whisk to ensure there are no lumps.
Cast iron—Once the cast-iron skillet is hot, remove it from the oven. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly with an offset spatula. Return it to the oven on the middle rack.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the cornbread begins to brown slightly on top and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rest and slice - Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
