Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup Flour
- 1/3 cup Honey
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cup Milk
Steps
- Heat the oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- In a second bowl, whisk the melted butter, honey, egg, and milk until completely smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until no dry streaks remain. A few lumps are fine. Beginner tip: overmixing develops gluten and makes tough, dense muffins.
- Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full. An ice cream scoop makes this neat and even.
- While they bake, mash soft butter with an extra drizzle of honey for the honey butter.
- Bake 16 to 18 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes, then serve warm with the honey butter.
