Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the buttermilk, melted butter, and honey until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined — do not overmix.
Pour the batter into a greased 6-inch round pan or silicone mold that fits your air fryer.
Cook at 350°F for 15-18 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with butter and honey.
Tip: Buttermilk is essential for tender cornbread — if you don't have any, make a quick substitute by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of white vinegar to 1/2 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
