She was a "pinch of this and handful of that" kind of cook, so getting the ingredient amounts correct for the recipe was a challenge. Now it's a family treasure! -Darlis A.

HONEY BRAN MUFFINS - MIMI'S CAFE RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Number Of Ingredients 21
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Distribute about 1 tablespoon of the Glaze into 12 muffin tins and be sure to coat the bottom and sides of each muffin tin. (I did this just before I mixed the wet and dry ingredients so that the glaze was fairly liquid, and I just spread it evenly between all 12 tins rather than measure) In a medium bowl (or one with a pour spout) mix all the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl (I didn't do this I just put all the wet ingredients into the middle of the dry ingredients and mixed them all together), mix the "liquid" ingredients. Stir the liquids into the dry ingredients until just moistened. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full, bake at 350 for 20min, until a toothpick comes out clean (be sure not to fill the muffins too full because even at 2/3rds they spring up over the tops a little. Immediately invert the baked muffins onto foil or wax paper to cool. I put mine on wax paper, and then enjoyed eating the caramelized rings on the muffin tin - if you make them, you'll know what I'm talking about.
CHEESY CORNBREAD MUFFINS WITH HOT HONEY BUTTER
Smoky chipotle takes these muffins into savory territory, but this recipe can be used purely as a blueprint: Want them a bit sweeter? Lose the minced chipotle chiles, and increase the sugar by a couple of tablespoons. Need them to hold up to a heavily spiced pot of chili? Double the chipotles en adobo, add 1/4 cup minced red onion and a dash of ground cumin, onion powder or garlic, perhaps. Whatever you add, don't overmix: Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined (a few lumps are O.K.) before folding in the cheese for muffins that are rich but not dense.

Steps:
- Prepare the hot honey butter: In a small bowl, stir 1/2 cup/1 stick softened butter with the honey and chipotle en adobo sauce. Refrigerate while muffins bake.
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees, and generously grease the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pepper and salt.
- In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 1/2 cup/1 stick softened butter over low heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, eggs, melted butter and the minced chipotle chiles, if using.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir using a rubber spatula until almost combined but still a little lumpy. Fold in the Cheddar and scallions, and stir until just combined.
- Transfer the muffin batter in 1/4-cup portions to the prepared muffin tin. Top each muffin with a jalapeño slice, if desired, and bake until the tops are golden and the muffins are cooked through, about 18 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the muffin tins before carefully transferring to a wire rack, running a knife around the rims to release the muffins, if necessary. Serve warm or at room temperature, with honey butter.

Steps:
- Combine yeast and warm water in a small bowl and let bloom for 5 minutes.
- Combine bread flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Warm yogurt and milk to room temperature in microwave for 30 to 45 seconds.
- Combine yeast mixture, yogurt, milk, butter, and honey in the bowl of stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Turn mixer to lowest speed and slowly add the flour mixture. Increase speed to medium; beat until dough is smooth and sticky, about 5 minutes. Turn dough out into a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly dust a baking sheet with cornmeal.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 9x13-inch rectangle. Cut the rectangle into 8 square pieces or use a 4-inch round cookie cutter.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Place 4 of the muffins in the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Uncover skillet and flip muffins with a spatula. Cover again and cook until the other side is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and lightly press into the cornmeal to coat. Repeat using remaining muffins and ghee.
- Bake in the preheated oven until centers are cooked through, 6 to 9 minutes. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then split with a fork.

Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: To ensure the best possible muffins, use fresh ingredients and high-quality honey. Fresh eggs, butter, and milk will give your muffins a rich flavor and texture, while pure honey will add a natural sweetness and moistness.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, being careful not to overbeat them.
- Let the batter rest: Allowing the batter to rest for a few minutes before baking will help the muffins rise and develop a more tender crumb.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: Baking the muffins at a high temperature (400°F) will help them rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
- Don't overbake the muffins: Overbaking the muffins will dry them out. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Honey muffins are delightful treats that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their moist texture, sweet flavor, and golden brown crust, they are sure to please everyone. Whether you prefer classic honey muffins or something with a twist, there is a recipe in this collection that you will love.
