Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and honey. Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix—stop as soon as the batter comes together, even if there are a few small lumps.
Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.
