Brown Butter Cornbread Muffins

Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup hot water
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a muffin tin and set aside.

  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling until very little foam remains and the butter turns a golden brown, taking care not to burn it. Set aside.

  3. Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, incorporate. Add buttermilk, water and butter. Stir to combine and batter comes together.

  4. Add batter to the muffin tins. Bake 15-20 minutes, for mini-muffins, longer for larger sized muffins or full cakes, until golden.

  5. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve.
