Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for the muffins to rise.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once baked, transfer the muffin tin to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Then, carefully remove the muffins from the tin and let them cool completely on the rack or serve warm.

Step 8

Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
