Southern Cornbread Muffins
Cost: $
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow Cornmeal
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1/4 cup Honey or Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 Eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This forms the base of your cornbread.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and honey (or sugar). Mix until the wet ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. This allows room for the muffins to rise.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cornbread muffins to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve these Southern Cornbread Muffins warm, either as a side to your favorite Southern dishes or as a delightful snack on their own. The slightly sweet, crumbly texture is perfect for soaking up sauces or enjoying with a pat of butter.
