Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup milk
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and honey until smooth and well blended.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these lemony corn muffins on their own or with butter and honey for an extra treat!
