Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Cornmeal
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and honey (if using) until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could result in dense muffins.
Evenly distribute the batter into 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 brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm with butter or honey, and enjoy a taste of classic Southern comfort.
