Preheat oven to 350F.
If making homemade corn muffin mix, whisk all the ingredients together. Set aside.
In an 8x8” baking pan, add the butter. Place either in the oven or in a microwave to melt.
Use a pastry brush to spread the butter up all sides of the baking pan.
Dump the drained corn into the baking pan, add the sour cream, cheddar soup, honey, salt, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
Add 1 ¾ cups of the corn muffin mix. Use a spatula to stir it all together until well combined.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until deeply golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with no wet batter.
Let the casserole rest at least 10 minutes before serving warm with the sage compound butter and hot honey.
