    • 2/3 Cup vegetable oil

    • 2 1/2 Cup buttermilk

    • 4 Large eggs, beaten

    • 1/3 Cup unsalted butter, melted

    • 1/2 Cup mayonnaise

    • 2 Tablespoon honey, plus more for serving

  • Step 3

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
