Brown Butter Cornbread Muffins With Sweet Tea Glaze Recipes

BROWN BUTTER CORNBREAD MUFFINS WITH SWEET TEA GLAZE

Steps:

• Make The Brown Butter Cornbread Muffins:
• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut 6 tablespoons of butter into 12 (½ tablespoon) pats. Place 1 pat of butter in each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Cut the remaining 1 ½ sticks of butter into chunks and melt in a medium, light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook the butter, swirling the pan, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, 5 to 7 minutes-the butter will foam while it's browning. Remove from the heat, add the corn, and stir to coat the kernels in butter. Let cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, and eggs. Add the warm (not hot) corn mixture and whisk to incorporate. Add the flour mixture and gently fold until just combined.
• Place the muffin pan in the oven and heat until the butter is melted, foaming, and starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. Spoon about 1/3 cup of batter into each muffin cup-they will be very full. Return the pan to the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes in the pan then transfer the muffins to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
• Make The Sweet Tea Glaze:
• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the tea and honey and bring to a simmer. Continue simmering until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Add the butter and whisk until melted. Carefully measure 2 tablespoons of the hot glaze, combine with the cornstarch, and whisk to dissolve. Whisk the cornstarch mixture back into the glaze, add the salt, and continue to simmer, whisking frequently, until thick and slightly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pour the glaze over the muffins and enjoy warm or at room temperature-before they're all gone!

EASY HONEY CORNBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray or lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
• Mix milk and cornmeal in a bowl and let sit for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Mix in flour, oil, white sugar, brown sugar, honey, egg, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup 2/3 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Mix butter, cinnamon, and honey together in a bowl. Serve honey butter with muffins.

RICH AND BUTTERY CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees, and generously butter the cups and tops of a muffin tin. (The muffins will overflow, and those crisp edges are delicious.)
• In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, sour cream, milk and eggs. Fold butter mixture into dry ingredients, then scoop batter into muffin tin (it will be very full). Sprinkle each muffin top with Demerara sugar.
• Bake until golden on the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from muffin tin and cool to room temperature. Serve with even more butter.
