Ingredients
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
Coarse salt
1/4 cup sunflower or safflower oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons mild honey, such as acacia or orange blossom
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup whole milk
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups. Whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Combine oil, butter, and honey; stir in eggs and milk. Stir oil mixture into cornmeal mixture. Divide batter evenly among baking cups.
Bake until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
