Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Cornmeal
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
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 cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and honey (if using) until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could result in dense muffins.
Step 5
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
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
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Serve warm with butter or honey, and enjoy a taste of classic Southern comfort.
