Ingredients
  1. 3⁄4 cup unsalted butter, plus more for serving
  2. 10 sprigs fresh thyme
  3. 4 cups whole buttermilk
  4. 4 large eggs
  5. 2⁄3 cup honey, plus additional for serving
  6. 3 tablespoons canola oil
  7. 4 cups plain cornmeal
  8. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  9. 1⁄4 cup fresh thyme leaves
  10. 2 tablespoons baking powder
  11. 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  12. 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, melt 3⁄4 cup butter over medium heat. Add thyme sprigs; cook until butter starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard thyme, and pour butter into a medium bowl. Whisk in buttermilk, eggs, and 2⁄3 cup honey.
  2. Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Add oil to skillet, and place skillet in oven until oil is very hot, about 8 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, thyme leaves, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Make a well in center of cornmeal mixture, and stir in buttermilk mixture just until combined. Carefully pour batter into hot skillet.
  4. Bake until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes; serve warm with honey and butter, if desired.
