Calories 268kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup cornmeal
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup butter melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
- 2 apples grated
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels from 2 ears of corn
- 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese shredded
Honey butter:
- 1 stick butter softened
- ¼ cup honey
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400ºF. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, until combined. In a second bowl, whisk together the egg and melted butter. Put the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Let the batter sit 5-10 minutes.
- Fold in the corn kernels, grated apple, and shredded cheddar.
- Divide the batter among the 12 prepared muffin cups. Bake 18-22 minutes, or until the edges of the muffins begin to pull away from the edges of the pan and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool. Meanwhile, add the softened butter and honey to a bowl. Mix until smooth; season to taste with salt.
- Serve the muffins with honey butter. (Extra butter can be kept in the refrigerator.)
