    • Yield: 12 muffins + ½ cup hot honey butter 1x

    Ingredients

    Scale

    Hot Honey Butter:

    • ½ cup (113g) salted butter, softened
    • 2 Tbsp (44g) Red Clay Spicy Peach Honey

    Corn Muffins:

    • 2 cups (280g) yellow cornmeal, divided [1]
    • 1 cup (130g) all-purpose flour
    • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • 1 ¼ tsp salt
    • 1 ¼ cups (285g) whole milk
    • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted & cooled slightly
    • 3 Tbsp (35g) granulated sugar
    • 1 cup (240g) sour cream, room temp
    • 2 large eggs, room temp

    For Serving:

    • Red Clay Spicy Peach Honey

    Instructions

    1. Heat oven to 425°F. Grease muffin wells or line with baking cups; set aside.
    2. In a small bowl, mix softened butter and honey. Store in fridge until 20–30 minutes before serving muffins.
    3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups (210g) cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
    4. In a large, heatproof bowl, whisk together remaining ½ cup (70g) cornmeal and milk. Microwave for 1 ½ minutes, then whisk. Continue zapping in 30-second increments, whisking after each time, until mixture is thick and batter-esque (1–3 minutes more).
    5. Whisk in melted butter, followed by sugar, then sour cream until thoroughly combined. If mixture is still too hot to add eggs, allow to cool for 5 minutes. Whisk in eggs.
    6. Fold in dry ingredients until thoroughly combined.
    7. Divide batter evenly amongst muffins wells. (This 2-ounce #16 disher is the perfect tool for this!)
    8. Bake for 13–15 minutes, rotating pan halfway through bake time. Muffins are done when a wooden pick inserted in the centre comes out clean with only a few fluffy crumbs attached.
    9. Cool muffins in pan for 5 minutes, then remove and transfer to wire rack to cool a smidge more.
    10. Serve warm with hot honey butter and additional spicy peach honey.

    Notes

    1. You can also use yellow polenta. We used Moretti fioretto (fine yellow polenta) since we already had some on hand.
