Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.3333 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and honey (if using) until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter—a few lumps are okay.
Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with butter, honey, or as a side to chili or soups.
