Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. Place a 10 inch cast iron skillet in the oven as it preheats.

- Mix wet into dry until just combined. Careful not to over mix!
- Stir in reserved brown butter.
- Remove cast iron from the oven and add in the 3 Tbsp of butter. Once butter is melted, add in batter and spread out evenly.
- Place in oven and bake 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean.
- While the cornbread bakes, prepare the butter.
- Mix the softened butter, scallions, jalapeños, honey, salt and pepper until fully combined. Set aside to eat with the bread.
- Remove cornbread from oven and let cool 5 minutes. Serve warm with scallion jalapeño butter.
