Cornbread Muffins
Tender cornbread muffins that are the perfect side to any Southern or Southwestern dish.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour spooned into measuring cup and leveled off
- 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3/4 cup milk preferably whole but low-fat works
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter melted and cooled
Directions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Line a muffin pan with liners or spray with non stick cooking spray. (I prefer to use non-stick cooking spray so the muffins get nice and crisp on the edges.)

In a medium bowl, break up the eggs with a whisk. Whisk in the honey, and then the milk. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk mixture and the melted butter to the dry ingredients. Whisk until just blended. Do not overuse; it's okay if there are a few lumps. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are set and golden. (Note that the muffins will not dome.) Cool the muffins for a few minutes in the pan, then serve warm.

* If you'd prefer to make this as cornbread rather than muffins, spray an 8-inch square pan with non-stick cooking spray, d bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.

Friendly Instructions: Cornbread muffins taste best when served right out of the oven but can be frozen in a freezer or sealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. Thaw for 3 to 4 hours on the countertop before serving. Wrap them in aluminum foil and warm in a 350°F oven until hot. Alternatively, heat muffins in the microwave.
