Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and honey (if using) until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in dense muffins.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown 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 them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, honey, or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
