  • In a separate bowl, use a whisk to combine the 1 ½ cups of buttermilk, 4 tablespoons of melted butter, and the beaten egg.
  • Create a well in the dry ingredients bowl and slowly pour in the wet ingredients. Add in the 3 Tablespoons of honey and mix all the ingredients together until combined. Set aside.
