Method

1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well, or line with paper liners.
2
Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, oil, and honey together.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined — a few lumps are fine; do not overmix.
5
Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
6
Bake 16-18 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7
Cool in the tin 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack; serve warm with butter.
