How to Make It

1. Step
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.
2. Step
Make the cornbread muffins: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
3. Step
In a medium bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
4. Step
In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
5. Step
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.
6. Step
Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way.
7. Step
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.
8. Step
Serve the muffins warm with the herbed honey butter.
9. Step
Enjoy
