12 servings

  • ½ stick unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
  • 2 cups blue cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 3 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 cup frozen corn

Instructions

  • Make the herbed honey butter: In a medium bowl, combine the butter, honey, parsley, thyme, and salt. Using a rubber spatula, mix all the ingredients until smooth and incorporated, about 3 minutes. Scoop the butter onto a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log, then wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Make the cornbread muffins: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the buttermilk mixture until fully combined, then add the frozen corn and mix to incorporate. The batter will be lumpy.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way.
  • Bake the muffins for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are just slightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Serve the muffins warm with the herbed honey butter.
  • Enjoy
