    2. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornmeal and baking soda, then fold into liquid ingredients until smooth. Be sure not to overbeat.
    3. Line muffin tins with muffin liner, fill each cup ¾ full and bake for 15–20 minutes on middle rack.
    4. In a small bowl, whisk honey butter ingredients until blended; spread on top of cornbread muffins or serve honey butter on the side.
