Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a standard muffin tin or line with muffin liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- For a sweeter twist, add 1/2 cup of corn kernels or diced jalapeños for a kick.
- Serve warm with honey or butter for an extra indulgent treat.
- These muffins freeze well; just wrap them tightly and store them in the freezer for up to a month.
