Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 8”x8” baking dish into oven.

- In a mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl whisk together eggs, 1 cup butter, buttermilk, and honey.
- Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and stir until well mixed. Fold in corn.
- Pour remaining butter into hot baking dish and swirl to cover all sides.
- Pour batter into baking dish and bake for 45 minute to an hour or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.

- Bacon, chili, lime butter: Place bacon and shallots in a food processor and pulse until a fine mealy texture forms. Add remaining ingredients and continue to pulse until fully incorporated. Place butter in a ramekin and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours (to allow the flavors to merry). Before serving, set butter out for 30 minutes to soften. Serve.
