Ingredients:

- 1 and 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal (190g)

- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)

- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (66g)

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (113g)

- 3/4 cup milk (180ml)

- 1 large egg

- 3 tablespoons honey

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15-20 minutes

Total Time: 25-30 minutes

Servings: 12 muffins

Equipment: Mixing bowls, whisk, muffin tin, measuring cups and spoons, muffin liners (optional), oven

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it with butter or inserting muffin liners.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and granulated sugar until well combined. This mixture will provide a sturdy base for your muffin batter.

3. In a separate, smaller bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and large egg. If your milk is cold, consider warming it slightly to prevent the melted butter from solidifying. Stir in the honey until the wet ingredients are fully blended.

4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Using a spatula or spoon, fold the ingredients together until they are just combined. Be cautious not to overmix, as this can lead to dense and gummy muffins.

5. Using a scoop or spoon, distribute the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cavities. Aim to fill each cup about 3/4 full for even baking.

6. Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving. These cornbread muffins can be enjoyed warm, drizzled with extra honey, or at room temperature as a delightful snack.

Cooking Tips:

- For best results, use fresh cornmeal to ensure a sweet aroma and flavor

- Adding browned butter can impart a nutty depth of flavor

- Incorporate diced jalapeños or other favorite peppers for a spicy twist

- Avoid overmixing the batter for light and fluffy muffins
