Honey Butter
Directions
Whisk together butter and eggs. Add cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and buttermilk. Mix until just combined - batter should still be slightly lumpy. Fold in corn kernels, White Cheddar cheese and ½ cup of the Yellow Cheddar (reserving some for tops of muffins).
Let batter rest 10 minutes, then evenly distribute into muffin pans with foil liners (or if you prefer to make this into corn bread, simply add to a cast iron pan).
Bake muffins in 400⁰F grill for approximately 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. After 10- minutes of being on the grill, distribute the remaining Cheddar Cheese on top of muffins and close lid.
Combine all ingredients for butter and vigorously whip together with a fork until thoroughly combined. Serve on warm muffins!
