Golden, slightly sweet, and tender all the way through, these corn muffins are the kind of baked good that disappears fast from any table. The combination of buttermilk and honey gives them a subtle tang and warmth that makes plain cornbread feel like a distant memory. Lupin flour has quietly crept into a surprising number of commercial baked goods and mixes as a protein booster, which can make store-bought muffins a real minefield if you're avoiding it. This recipe keeps things refreshingly straightforward — cornmeal, all-purpose flour, buttermilk, eggs, and butter are the backbone, with no alternative flours or additives in sight. The key to that soft, bakery-style crumb is folding the batter just until combined and not a stroke more, so don't be tempted to overmix. They bake up beautifully golden with slightly crisp edges and a moist, fluffy interior that pairs perfectly with a bowl of chili or a pat of extra butter while still warm.
