Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk, cold
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons Honey (for drizzling, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the butter; small pieces of butter ensure a flaky texture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the cold buttermilk and beaten egg until combined. Pour this wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.

Step 5

Use a spatula to gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough, which can result in dense muffins.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups. Fill each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, drizzle the muffins with a small amount of honey before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
