Honey Cornbread Mini Treats

A few months ago Nordic Ware told us that they would stop making the beautiful Beehive mould. I couldn't believe it, it's so cute! With it you can make beautiful biscuits, perfect treats for breakfast , to accompany coffee or for the kids' snack.

Personally, I love them, not only for the detail of their shapes, as sweet as they are cheerful, but also for the size of each cake: They are perfect! They are easy to carry, to present, to eat...

So we said, let's grab them before they're gone! And we brought a bunch of Beehive molds. That was a few months ago, and we still have some, but we're already on the last batch, and we couldn't help but share this delicious and easy-to-make recipe with you before we have to say our final goodbyes.

But don't worry! If you don't have that mold, you can make this same recipe in other molds designed for baking, from the mini-muffin mold to a Nordic Ware bundt mold , which can be used to prepare a maxi-sized cake.

Whatever format you choose, you will see that it is a very simple but effective recipe . I hope you enjoy it!

Cakes prepared in the Nordic Ware Beehive cakelet pan

Ingredients*

• 1 cup corn flour
• 1 cup baking flour
• 1 tablespoon of yeast
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cup milk
• 3 eggs
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• ¼ cup honey

*For measurements, take a 240 ml cup measured with water.

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 190ºC.
2. Prepare the Beehive mold with non-stick spray , making sure it is evenly distributed with the help of a kitchen brush.
3. Sift the flour and mix all the ingredients in a bowl. If you have the KitchenAid mixer , put all the ingredients in the bowl and mix with the flexible side accessory at medium speed.
4. Pour half of the batter into the mold , filling each cavity up to three-quarters of its height at most.
5. Carefully place the mould in the oven, at medium height, and bake for 14-18 minutes at 180ºC. You can check that they are done using the Nordic Ware thermometer , or alternatively with a toothpick: insert it into the centre of the cake and if it comes out clean, it is ready.
6. Remove the mold from the oven, let it rest for 10 minutes and unmold, allowing it to cool completely on a cooling rack .
7. Repeat baking with the second half of the dough.

And voilà! In just a few minutes you'll be enjoying these mini-bites, which served with a little honey on top are not just a delight for the eyes, but a pleasure for all the senses. Enjoy!

• I don't know if you're aware that KitchenAid has launched a new accessory, it's the ingredient sifter and scale . If you have a KitchenAid and want to use it, you just have to attach the sifter (in fact, I think you'll always have it attached because it's so practical!) and add the ingredients to it, to weigh them as you add them. The same accessory will allow you to sift the flour as you pour it into the bowl of the machine.
