Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground smoked paprika
• 0.75 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives to evenly distribute them throughout the dry mixture.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and honey until smooth and fully combined.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Gently fold the batter together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined; avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Evenly divide the muffin batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve your Corn Muffins Alberesque with butter, honey, or enjoy them plain. These muffins pair wonderfully with soups, salads, or as a standalone snack.
