HONEY CORN MUFFINS

Start to finish: 45 minutes (10 minutes active)

Servings: 12

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup cornmeal

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 large eggs

1 cup buttermilk

1/3 cup honey

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Heat the oven to 375 F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and baking soda.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, honey and melted butter. Add the flour mixture and stir to combine.

Divide the batter among the muffin cups and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted at the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes.
