Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 Egg, large
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, egg, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Fold in the finely chopped chives, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or a scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm with butter or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness. Enjoy!
