Homemade Cornbread
I usually make this as a side to a chili or a mexican dish. They are easy and so delicious. My boys would prefer to have them for every meal. They are always gone in about 2 seconds. I used to always make them in a 8×8, But now I make them individually in a muffin pan. They are easy to grab at the dinner table and everyone loves the individuality of the cornbread muffins. These are great to serve at a potluck or BBQ. I have notice they don’t last long when they are served. Either Cornbread or Cornbread Muffins, butter and some honey will add a great touch that will melt in your mouth!
How Do You Make Cornbread Muffins?
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease muffin tins or line a muffin pan with muffin liners and set aside. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the melted butter and sugar. Add in the eggs and butter milk and stir until combined. In another large mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking soda, powder, and sat. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and stir until combined. Batter will be lumpy. Add the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are set and golden. Cool the muffins for a few minutes in the pan, then serve warm. Note: The muffins will not have a dome shape like a cupcake, it will be more of a flat top.
