Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Have an 8x8-inch baking dish ready.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, drained corn, milk, sugar, and eggs until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix or the biscuits will be dense.
- Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the batter directly over the butter, then use a spatula to spread it evenly to the edges.
- Score the unbaked batter into 9 equal squares (a 3x3 grid) with a knife.
- Bake for 28 to 33 minutes, until the top is golden brown. If the edges brown too quickly, tent them loosely with foil.
- Let the biscuits rest in the dish for 10 minutes so the butter absorbs into the crumb.
- Serve warm, drizzled with extra honey or slathered with additional butter.

Notes
For extra crunch, use stone-ground cornmeal. You can substitute the canned corn with 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen (thawed) corn. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes. To make ahead, prepare the batter and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before baking. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender. Serve with honey butter or a drizzle of California olive oil for a savory twist.
