Papa Mike's Skillet Corn Bread with Honey Butter

Ingredients:

¹⁄₂ cup white flour
¹⁄₂ cup whole wheat flour
1 cup yellow corn meal (medium or fine grain)
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
¹⁄₄ cup canola oil (plus a little for the skillet)
milk

Preheat the oven to 425°F.  Mix all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.  Add the egg and oil and mix.  Add milk a little at a time until it makes a stiff batter (don't worry too much about the amount of milk).  Heat the oil in 10-inch, oven safe, cast iron pan until hot.  Add the batter and cook until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

For the honey butter....mix room temperature salted butter with honey to taste.  (It's yummy so you might want to make a little extra!)
