For a richer flavor, use brown butter. Simply continue cooking the butter in the skillet until it turns a nutty brown color before adding the batter. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Feel free to adjust the amount of honey to your desired level of sweetness. A well-seasoned cast iron skillet is key for the best flavor and texture. If your skillet isn't well-seasoned, consider adding a bit more butter to prevent sticking.
