Jalapeno Cheddar Muffins in 30 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin with butter or line with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until no clumps remain.
3. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the buttermilk, melted butter, and honey until smooth and pale.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry bowl. Using a spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined; stop as soon as no dry flour streaks remain.
5. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños until distributed, being careful not to over-mix.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Top each with a pinch of extra cheese and a drizzle of the remaining melted butter.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are mahogany-colored and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
