Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients until very well-combined. Store in a labeled, airtight container.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place a tablespoon of butter (or bacon grease) in the bottom of an 8-inch cast iron skillet* and place in the oven to melt.

Step 3

Measure 2 cups of Cornbread Mix into a large bowl. Stir in the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and desired amount of honey. Using a pot holder, remove hot skillet from the oven. Pour cornbread batter into center of skillet, allowing melted butter to spread to the edges. Smooth the top and bake for 20 minutes, or until surface is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool skillet for 5 minutes before slicing and serving cornbread warm.
