Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour a 9×9 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the 1/4 cup of honey.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cornbread is baking, prepare the honey butter. In a small bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/4 cup of honey until smooth.
Once the cornbread is out of the oven, spread the honey butter evenly over the top while it’s still warm.
Let the honey butter cornbread cool slightly before serving.

For a moister cornbread, you can add an extra tablespoon of honey to the batter.
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
This honey butter cornbread is best served warm.
