Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g)
  • 1 cup cornmeal, medium grind (160 g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey (85 g)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (85 g)
  • 3/4 cup milk (whole or 2%) (180 ml)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease your muffin tin well with butter or non-stick spray, especially around the edges.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the milk, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  6. Brush the tops of the batter with a little extra melted butter to help create golden, crispy edges.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, watching closely after 15 minutes for golden brown, crispy edges. Check doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool further to keep the bottoms from getting soggy.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. Brushing melted butter on top before baking is key to achieving crispy edges. Use a metal muffin tin and bake at 400°F for best results. Rotate the pan halfway if your oven cooks unevenly. Let muffins cool briefly in the pan before transferring to a rack to maintain crispness.
