• 2 1/2 tablespoons butter
• 1 fresh long slim red cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 medium onion, minced
• 1/2 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 cup milk

1. Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the cayenne pepper (if using) and onion and gently cook 2 to 4 minutes, until onions are tender. Don't fry the onions or darken them. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, cayenne powder and salt. Add the onion mixture into the dry ingredients.
3. In a small mixing bowl, beat the egg. Add the honey and milk and blend thoroughly.
4. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry mix. Stir just enough to combine. Don't overmix.
