Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ stick unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 cups blue cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups buttermilk
4 large eggs
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
½ cup honey
1 cup frozen corn

Steps:

  • Make the herbed honey butter: In a medium bowl, combine the butter, honey, parsley, thyme, and salt. Using a rubber spatula, mix all the ingredients until smooth and incorporated, about 3 minutes. Scoop the butter onto a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log, then wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Make the cornbread muffins: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the buttermilk mixture until fully combined, then add the frozen corn and mix to incorporate. The batter will be lumpy.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way.
  • Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are just slightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Serve the muffins warm with the herbed honey butter.
  • Enjoy
