Start by measuring 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, scooping it lightly to avoid packing.

Add 1.5 cups of self-rising yellow cornmeal. If using regular cornmeal, add 1 tablespoon of baking powder.

Add 1.5 cups of sugar, heaping it so it overflows the top.

Mix all the dry ingredients together until well incorporated.

Melt 2 sticks (1 cup) of salted butter and add it to the mixture.

Add 1 cup of whole milk to the mixture, avoiding buttermilk due to its tanginess.

Crack 3 large eggs into the bowl and add 2 tablespoons of honey.

Mix everything together until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.

Let the mixture rest for 3-4 minutes, then mix again before pouring into the pan.

Coat the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan with melted butter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, ensuring to cover the corners and edges.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.

While the cornbread is baking, prepare the honey butter by melting equal parts butter and honey in the microwave.

Mix the melted butter and honey together until well incorporated.
