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