Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with 2 tbsp butter inside for 3 minutes until smoking hot.
Step 2
Whisk cornmeal, flour, and a pinch each of salt and baking powder in a large bowl.
Step 3
Whisk milk, eggs, honey, and jalapeño in another bowl until combined.
Step 4
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—don't overwork; some lumps are fine.
Step 5
Carefully pour batter into the hot skillet. Dot the top with remaining 2 tbsp butter (cut into small pieces).
Step 6
Bake 12–14 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
