Honey Corn Muffins

I love when I want to make something and I find a Cupboard Project recipe of it just waiting to be made. These are from the same honey booklet as the honey chocolate cake I posted previously.


Honey Corn Muffins

3/4 c sifted flour
1 1/4 t baking powder
1/2 salt
1/3 c cornmeal
1/4 cup prepared diced apple
1 egg, well beaten
1/3 c milk
1/4 c honey
3 T shortening, melted

Sift flour  once, measure, add baking powder and salt, and sift again. Add cornmeal. Wash, apre, and dice apple. Combine egg, milk, honey, and shortening. Add all at once to flour-cornmeal mixture, stirring only enough to damoen all flour. Fold in apple. Bake in well-greased 2-inch muffin pan at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until done. Makes 8-12 muffins.

They tasted pretty good, but there were some issues. It made nine tiny muffins, the smallest only like an inch tall. Part of that might be my fault because I forgot the egg, but surprisingly the structure and texture was fine, and the bigger muffins rose fine. I probably wouldn't recommend these. There are better cornbread recipes out there. And the apple was kind of weird.
