Ingredients
125 g unsalted butter
360 ml buttermilk
120 g cornmeal
2 large eggs
45 ml honey, or to taste
2.5 g fine salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
120 g self-rising flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Place the cast iron skillet in the oven to heat. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then set it aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, cornmeal, eggs, honey, salt, and cayenne pepper. Add the flour and half of the melted butter, then whisk again. Pour the batter over the remaining butter in the hot skillet.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
