Grandma’s Honey Muffins

Name: Grandma's Honey Muffins
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 1 dozen.
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup sugar; 3 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 large egg, room temperature; 1 cup 2% milk; 1/4 cup butter, melted; 1/4 cup honey

I can remember my Grandma Wheeler making these delicious muffins—we'd eat them nice and warm, fresh from the oven! She was a "pinch of this" and "handful of that" kind of cook, so getting the ingredient amounts correct for the recipe was a challenge. Now it's a family treasure! —Darlis A. Wilfer, West Bend, Wisconsin

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, room temperature
1 cup 2% milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup honey

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, combine egg, milk, butter and honey. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 15-18 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.
Freeze option: Freeze cooled muffins in freezer containers. To use, thaw at room temperature or, if desired, microwave each muffin on high until heated through, 20-30 seconds.

I was looking for a simple, sweet recipe to make before going to the beach and found this! I had all the ingredients and they seemed pretty easy to make. The muffins were finished within a half hour and turned out to be great travel snacks. Thanks for sharing!

I'm going to start with YUM!!!! I am the main cook/Baker for my family and they kept insisting they were eating corn bread. I kept telling them it was something new and they couldn't stop eating them. This was just an easy delicious recipe! Definety one for the books! So simple but a new favorite! I kept the recipe as it was and it wasnt to sweet or to bitter. Just perfect to put butter in the middle and be happy.

Absolutely Delicious! These can be made for breakfast or in place of corn bread. Loved them with soup. They are a perfect muffin.

I used gluten-free flour, increased the baking powder to 4 teaspoons and added a second egg. They were delicious! They are a sweet muffin, but then they are called honey muffins . . .

Tried this recipe and was very pleased. It made 12 muffins. The first ones were just a little sweet for me so next time I cut the honey by about half. Highly recommend this recipe

I made this recipe with my 8 year old daughter who really enjoyed it! We decided to double the amount of honey after seeing the reviews. They were delicious! My son aged 10 says he can't take the honey but he likes them anyway. We are in the UK and appreciated a nice easy recipe to follow as it is kid friendly. In the UK All Purpose Flour is called Plain Flour.
