Ingredients
- for the filling:
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3 TBSP melted butter
- for the muffins:
- 1 cup plus 7 TBSP all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 3 TBSP unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup plus 2 TBSP buttermilk
- for the topping:
- 1/2 cup honey
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat to 400F.
Mix all the filling ingredients together in a small bowl, and then get on with the muffins. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. In a wide-mouthed measuring cup, whisk the egg, melted butter, sugar. In a wide-mouthed measuring cup, whisk the egg, melted butter, and buttermilk. Make a well in the dry ingredients, pour in the liquid, and mix lightly and gently, remembering to keep it bumpy rather then going all-out for smooth: anything more than the gentlest handling makes for a heavy muffin.
Fill the muffin cups 1/3 full, add scant TBSP of filling, then cover with more muffin mixture until 2/3 full. Sprinkle any remaining filling on top of the muffin(I used all of mine for the filling).
Bake for 15 minutes. Put the muffins, still in their paper cups onto a rack and drizzle with honey.
