Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup milk
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and honey until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these lemony corn muffins on their own or with butter and honey for an extra treat!
