Anyone got a good recipe for honey muffins?

Found this French one on the web:
These honey muffins, moufflets a la miel de sarrasin, are made with flavorful buckwheat honey. It’s used mainly for baking and as a health tonic for its high vitamin and mineral content. Try these muffins with café au lait for a rich, delicious breakfast or brunch.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
¼ cup butter, melted and cooled slightly
¼ cup buckwheat honey (may substitute clover or other varietal honey)

Preparation:

Preheat an oven to 400F. Grease 8 extra-large or 12 standard muffin cups, and set them aside.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a medium bowl, beat the egg into the milk. Add the honey to the warm butter and stir for about 15 seconds to melt the honey a bit, and then add the honey butter to the milk and egg. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until the batter is moistened. Take care not to overmix, as this will result in a tough muffin.

Fill the prepared muffin cup 2/3 full with the batter and then bake for 15 minutes, until the muffins are a light, golden brown. Cool in the pan for 2 minutes, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 8 extra-large or 12 standard-sized muffins.

Reviews said it needed more honey but then was good.

Devonshire Honey Cakes (makes 4 small muffins)

90g clear honey
80g unsalted butter
35g dark soft brown sugar
3 pullets eggs, beaten
100g self raising flour
(pinch of ground ginger – optional)

Preheat oven to 150C convection.
Butter and flour muffin tins

Cut butter into pieces and drop into pan with honey and sugar
Gently heat until dissolved then raise heat until boiling.
Boil for ONE minute and take off heat and leave to cool for 20-30mins (so eggs don’t cook)

Beat eggs into honey caramel syrup using wooden spoon.
Sift flour into a bowl, add ginger and beat in the egg & syrup mixture until a smooth runny batter.
Pour into tins and bake for 25-30 mins (until golden brown, no longer wet looking in the split an centre cooked.

(optional – glaze with warmed honey)



Honey & Pear puddings

As above but place a pinch of brown sugar in tin, followed by par-cooked sweet pear cubes (cooked in a little water, sugar and honey) and the batter. Cook as above.

OH Rating: 8.5/10
Comments: More, bigger pud, lose the ginger (tried second time – no loss without ginger)

Would probably also work as steamed puds (quite a rubbery yet light sponge)
