Honey butter tastes so yummy spread over these hot and snappy muffins. They're delicious with soups, stews and chili. —Mary Thomas, Hugo, Minnesota

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
4-1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Dash pepper
1 large egg
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup 2% milk
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 can (8-3/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 to 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
HONEY BUTTER:
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In another bowl, combine the egg, sour cream, milk and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in corn and jalapeno.
Coat muffin cups with cooking spray; fill two-thirds full with batter. Bake at 400° for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. In a small bowl, combine honey butter ingredients. Serve with warm muffins.

Editor's Note

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Really enjoyed these and the honey butter was a great compliment. I used only half jalapeno and it was great - but I may try the whole jalapeno next time.

Very tasty! I used canned Jalapenos. The honey butter went well with this too.

Have you tried doubling this recipe? 8 muffins would never be enough for my family.
