Mix together all of the corn cake ingredients until most of the lumps are gone. Don't overmix!
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter on it. Place about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan, and if necessary smoosh it down a bit into a flat round. Cook until browned, about 2 minutes, and then flip and finish cooking. Repeat with the rest of the batter until all of it has been cooked.
Mix honey and 1/2 cup butter together until completely combined. Serve with the hot corn cakes.
