Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg lightly, then stir in the buttermilk, melted butter, and honey (if using) until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well, and gently fold the mixture together with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm with a pat of butter, a drizzle of honey, or enjoy them plain. Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
