Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal medium or fine grind
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Notes

For added richness, consider using buttermilk instead of regular milk. To store, cool completely and wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil; they can be frozen for up to 3 months. These muffins are best enjoyed warm with a pat of butter. If reheating, microwave individual muffins for 10-15 seconds. Experiment with different types of milk or add corn kernels for extra texture!
