Mix together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center. Pour in the buttermilk, egg, and honey. Stir until combined. Transfer the batter to a tall glass or mason jar.
Cut a block of cheddar cheese into seven pieces. Then cut each piece in half so that you end up with 14 pieces of cheese that are roughly equal in size. Lightly coat the cheese in flour and then insert a skewer.
Heat oil in a deep fryer (or use a large heavy pot with a thermometer) to 365˚F.
Dip cheese on a stick in the batter so that it is fully coated all of the way to where the skewer is inserted. Use a knife to help even out the batter or remove excess, if necessary.
Carefully add the coated cheese on a stick to the hot oil and fry for 1 -2 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.
Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
