1\/2 cup chopped walnuts
\n1\/3 cup sugar
\n1 1\/2 tsp cinnamon
\n3 TBSP melted butter<\/p>\n
1 cup plus 7 TBSP all-purpose flour
\n2 tsp baking powder
\n1\/2 tsp baking soda
\n1\/4 cup sugar
\n1 large egg
\n3 TBSP unsalted butter, melted
\n1 cup plus 2 TBSP buttermilk
\n1\/2 cup honey
\n
\nPreheat to 400F.
\nMix walnuts, sugar, cinnamon and butter together in a small bowl, and then get on with the muffins. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. In a wide-mouthed measuring cup, whisk the egg, melted butter, and buttermilk. Make a well in the dry ingredients, pour in the liquid, and mix lightly and gently, remembering to keep it bumpy rather then going all-out for smooth: anything more than the gentlest handling makes for a heavy muffin. Fill the muffin cups 1\/3 full, add scant TBSP of filling, then cover with more muffin mixture until 2\/3 full. Sprinkle any remaining filling on top of the muffin(I used all of mine for the filling).<\/p>\n
