Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit)
- Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the butter and the sugar, and use a hand mixer to beat them together for 1 minute.
- Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition.
- Pour in the buttermilk, sift in the flour, add honey, the bicarb of soda and cornmeal, and use a spatula to bring everything together into a batter.
- Line a muffin tin with paper cases, and divide the batter evenly - I ended up with 11 muffins.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden, and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Notes
- I find that using both honey and sugar adds enough sweetness, without it being overpowering. And while I suggested swapping the sugar for honey for a healthier touch, the same goes if you want sweeter muffins - you can use only refined sugar, and increase the amount to 2 thirds of a cup.
- Buttermilk can be replaced with yogurt or milk - although I suggest using full fat milk for better results, and a creamier texture, skimmed milk doesn't bring as great results.
- The muffins stay moist for a few good days, and using bicarb of soda helps achieve that fluffiness, so not to be skipped. Other than that, it's such a simple recipe to make!
