Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Medium Bowl
  • Muffin Tin
  • 16 cupcake liners

Ingredients

  • cups cornmeal
  • cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup butter flavored shortening
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup milk
  • cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 4 Tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a muffin pan with 16 liners and set aside.
  • In a large bowl mix together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  • In a separate medium bowl, cream together eggs, sugar, shortening and vanilla using an electric mixer.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir.
  • Add in milk, vegetable oil, and honey. Mix well until batter is smooth.
  • Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full and bake for 18-20 minutes (watch for the tops to turn or until golden).
  • Remove from oven and top each muffin with butter while they are hot so that the butter can melt and sink into the muffin.

Notes

  • We recommend using the liners, and not spraying each indentation with non-stick cooking spray. They still might stick to the pan, so it’s best to just play it safe and use the liners.
