Steps:
- Make the herbed honey butter: In a medium bowl, combine the butter, honey, parsley, thyme, and salt. Using a rubber spatula, mix all the ingredients until smooth and incorporated, about 3 minutes. Scoop the butter onto a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log, then wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.

- In a medium bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the buttermilk mixture until fully combined, then add the frozen corn and mix to incorporate. The batter will be lumpy.
- Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way.
- Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are just slightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Steps:
- Start by heavily greasing either a 9x9x2 inch baking pan or a 9 inch round glass baking container. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In mixing bowl stir together everything, but the milk and eggs. Beat together the eggs and milk in a separate bowl. Add milk/eggs mixture to flour mixture or vice versa and stir until batter is smooth. The xanthan gum will make the batter gummy/rubbery the more you mix it past the point of being smooth.
- Pour in greased baking pan and bake in oven for 20-25 minutes until knife comes out clean. Check after 15 minutes to see if cornbread is becoming brown on top. Remove cornbread when lightly brown on top.

BLUE CORNBREAD
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Butter 13x9x2" glass baking dish. Whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, pine nuts, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl to blend. Whisk milk, vegetable oil, eggs and buttermilk in medium bowl to blend. Add liquids to dry ingredients and whisk to blend. Fold in corn. Pour batter into prepared dish. Bake until tester comes out clean, about 40 min. Cut into squares and serve warm.
Tips:
- Use fresh cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal will give your blue cornbread a more vibrant color and better flavor. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but make sure it's finely ground.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your blue cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a hot oven: A hot oven will help your blue cornbread rise and cook evenly. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before you start baking.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if your blue cornbread is done baking.
- Let the blue cornbread cool before slicing: This will help prevent it from crumbling.
