1/4 cup melted butter (unsalted)
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat up your oven to 375°F (190°C) and get a mini muffin pan greased up.
02 -
Mix together the cornmeal, white flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a big bowl.

In a second bowl, mix the eggs, buttermilk, honey, and melted butter. Add this wet mix to the dry one and stir gently until just blended.
04 -
Fill the prepared muffin slots about 3/4 full with the batter. Bake for 12–15 minutes. They’re done when they’re golden brown and a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean.

In a separate small bowl, stir together the melted butter and honey. Use a brush to coat warm muffins with this mixture.
06 -
Serve fresh right away, whether as a snack, appetizer, or part of a meal.
# Notes:
01 -
Make ahead and reheat when you need them.
02 -
Create a zesty version by mixing in diced jalapeños, or cheesy by adding shredded cheddar.
03 -
Keep extras in a sealed container for up to three days.
