1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for pan
2 tbsp. pure honey
Kosher salt
1 c. fine cornmeal
1 c. all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
1/4 c. sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 c. whole milk
2 large eggs

1. Make honey butter: Use a fork to smash and stir together butter, honey, and salt in a bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
2. Make cornbread: Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or 8-inch square baking dish. Whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and butter. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Transfer batter to prepared pan.
