For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter to grease the skillet. Feel free to adjust the amount of black pepper to your preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also add a nice kick. Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a pat of butter.

01
Step
5 mins
Place butter in a 9-inch cast iron skillet and set on the center rack of the oven; preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove the skillet from the oven as soon as the butter is melted, even if the oven hasn't fully reached the set temperature. Tilt the skillet to coat all sides with the melted butter.
02
Step
2 mins
In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
03
Step
5 mins
In another large bowl, thoroughly whisk the eggs. Add the milk and honey, whisking until well combined. Gently add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just mixed. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet. Use a folding motion to incorporate any remaining melted butter.

Step
23 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
