Before you begin mixing your ingredients, it’s essential to preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Preheating is crucial because it ensures that your muffins bake evenly. An oven that isn’t properly preheated can lead to uneven cooking, resulting in muffins that are either undercooked in the center or overly browned on the outside. Take the time to set your oven to the correct temperature and allow it to heat fully before placing your muffins inside.

Ingredients
  

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1/4 cup honey

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted

Additional honey for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and honey until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Add Melted Butter: Fold in the melted butter until evenly incorporated into the batter.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter.

              Bake: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown on top.

                Prepare Honey Butter Glaze: While the muffins are baking, whip together the remaining melted butter and a few tablespoons of honey in a small bowl until well combined. This will be the glaze.

                  Glaze the Muffins: Once the muffins are out of the oven, let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, brush each muffin generously with the honey butter glaze.

                    Serve and Enjoy: For extra sweetness, drizzle a little additional honey on top before serving. Best enjoyed warm!
