Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground smoked paprika
- 0.75 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and smoked paprika until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives to evenly distribute them throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and honey until smooth and fully combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Gently fold the batter together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Evenly divide the muffin batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serving warm.
Serve your Corn Muffins Alberesque with butter, honey, or enjoy them plain. These muffins pair wonderfully with soups, salads, or as a standalone snack.
