Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare an 8x8 baking dish without greasing it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together honey, whole milk, and eggs until smooth. Stir in corn kernels evenly.
  3. In another bowl, sift all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, kosher salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, leaving lumps for a lighter texture.
  5. Pour melted butter into the bottom of the baking dish, then carefully add the biscuit batter on top without mixing.
  6. Bake for 28-33 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the biscuits rest for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes
