Ingredients:

  • 125g (1 cup) fine ground yellow cornmeal
  • 125g (1 cup) all purpose flour
  • 100g (½ cup) granulated white sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 240ml (1 cup) full fat buttermilk
  • 115g (½ cup) unsalted butter
  • 60ml (¼ cup) clover honey
  • 1 large egg

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease your 12 cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 125g cornmeal, 125g flour, 100g sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt. Mix until no lumps remain.
  3. Melt the 115g butter and let it sit for 2 minutes.
  4. In a separate jug, whisk the buttermilk, honey, egg, and melted butter. Look for a smooth, pale yellow liquid.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry bowl.
  6. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients together just until the flour disappears. The batter should look slightly lumpy.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ of the way full.
  8. Slide the tin into the oven for 18 minutes. Bake until the edges are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins sit in the tin for 5 minutes.
  10. Move them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Wait for the steam to dissipate before eating.
