Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 0.3333 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and honey (if using) until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter—a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 6

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with butter, honey, or as a side to chili or soups.
