Ingredients

• 120 ml Honey
• 180 g All-purpose flour
• 120 g Granulated sugar
• 100 g Unsalted butter
• 3 large Eggs
• 60 ml Milk
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 tsp Ground nutmeg
• 1.5 tsp Baking powder
• 0.25 tsp Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the honey until well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk. Gradually add the cooled honey-butter mixture to the eggs and whisk until well blended.

Step 5

Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 9

Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with additional honey for extra sweetness.
