This is excellent cornbread...especially topped with honey-butter! To make cornbread muffins, just spoon batter into greased or paper-lined muffin cups and bake for about 18 minutes.

1/2 cup cornmeal
1 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup oil
3 tbsp. melted butter
1 tbsp. honey
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cups milk
Honey-butter, optional

Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Add oil, butter, honey, eggs and milk; stir until just blended. Pour into greased 8-inch square baking pan. Bake in preheated 350 oven for 35 minutes.

*To make honey-butter, whip 1/2 cup butter with electric mixer until fluffy. Mix in 2 tbsp. honey, or to taste.
