When it comes to filling your muffin tins with the cornbread batter, a few tips can help ensure even distribution and perfect muffins every time. Start by using a standard ice cream scoop or a measuring cup for portioning the batter. This technique allows for consistent sizes and helps the muffins bake evenly. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full, leaving enough room for the muffins to rise beautifully without overflowing.

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: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a muffin tin by either lining it with paper liners or greasing the cups with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until they are well blended and free of lumps.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and honey until the mixture is smooth and uniform in consistency.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Gently stir the two mixtures together until just combined, being careful not to overmix; it's perfectly fine if there are a few lumps remaining in the batter.

          Add Melted Butter: Carefully fold in the melted butter until it's evenly distributed throughout the batter, ensuring a rich flavor in each bite.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter, ensuring even distribution across the muffin tin.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean, and the tops should be a lovely golden brown.

                Prepare Honey Butter Glaze: While the muffins are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together any remaining melted butter and a few tablespoons of honey in a small bowl until the mixture is well combined and glossy.

                  Glaze the Muffins: Once the muffins are out of the oven, allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Afterwards, generously brush each muffin with the honey butter glaze to infuse it with sweetness and shine.

                    Serve and Enjoy: For an extra touch of sweetness, consider drizzling additional honey on top of each muffin before serving. These muffins are best savored warm for a delightful experience!
