Cornbread with Brown Butter and Honey

Southern cornbread and the sweet, cakey squares sold under the same name further north are, in practice, two different foods that happen to share a batter list. This version sits firmly on the Southern side of that divide: barely sweetened, dense with real corn flavour, baked in a screaming-hot cast iron skillet so the crust comes out deep brown and faintly crisp, and finished with a brush of honey stirred into brown butter rather than folded, sugary, into the batter itself. It is the difference between cornbread that tastes like corn and cornbread that tastes like cake with corn in it.
