Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners and set aside to make the baking process cleaner and easier.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt until they are well combined and any lumps are broken up.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, granulated sugar, melted butter, and eggs thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir just until all the flour is incorporated and no streaks remain—avoid over-mixing to keep muffins tender.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Using a large cookie scoop, ice cream scoop, or spoon, divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin liners, filling each almost to the top.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes until the muffin tops are lightly golden brown with cracks appearing. Test doneness by pressing gently on the top—it should spring back—or insert a toothpick that comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 to 10 minutes before transferring them to a serving plate. Serve warm with butter and honey, plain butter, or try them with honey butter for extra sweetness and moisture.

Notes

  • Using a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop helps fill muffin liners evenly and speeds up the process.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins; stir just until combined.
  • Buttermilk adds moisture and slight tanginess, contributing to tender crumb texture.
  • Honey and sugar balance sweetness; adjust the amount of sugar based on preferred sweetness.
  • Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven; watch for golden tops and passing the toothpick test.
  • Serve muffins warm for best flavor and texture.
