Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the butter in a large cast-iron skillet and place the skillet in the oven to melt the butter, about 5 to 13 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir to combine, and set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and honey until fully blended. Add the milk and whisk until evenly combined.
-
Pour the liquid into the dry mixture, and stir just until moistened through. When the butter is melted and golden, remove the skillet from the oven, and give it a gentle swirl to lightly coat about an inch up the sides.
-
Pour the melted butter into the batter and stir just until incorporated.
-
Return the skillet to the oven and bake until the bread is brown around the edge, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few crumbs for 25 to 30 minutes.
-
Carefully place the skillet on a cooling rack. Let it cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
-
This cornbread will keep at room temperature in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or up to a week in the refrigerator.
