Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 large egg, room temperature
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
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-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, whole milk, honey, and egg until smooth and well blended.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 5
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven 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 let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam. Enjoy!
