Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit)

Step 2

Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, add the butter and the sugar, and use a hand mixer to beat them together for 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Pour in the buttermilk, sift in the flour, add honey, the bicarb of soda and cornmeal, and use a spatula to bring everything together into a batter.

Step 6

Line a muffin tin with paper cases, and divide the batter evenly - I ended up with 11 muffins.

Step 7

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden, and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
