Massachusetts Corn Muffins

By Grammie926

A hint of honey enhances the flavor of the corn without overwhelming it.

Ingredients

• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• Coarse salt
• 1/4 cup sunflower or safflower oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons mild honey, such as acacia or orange blossom
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup whole milk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups. Whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Combine oil, butter, and honey; stir in eggs and milk. Stir oil mixture into cornmeal mixture. Divide batter evenly among baking cups.

Bake until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
