Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Whisk together and then set aside.
Cook butter in the skillet you intend to bake the cornbread in over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it melt, then cook another 2 minutes or so until the butter gives off a nutty aroma and turns a golden brown color, which you can check on a spoon. Pour butter into dry ingredients.
Add eggs, milk, and syrup. Stir until batter is well combined. Pour batter into skillet.
Bake 18-21 minutes or until center comes out clean.
