Southern Cornbread Muffins

Hearty with just a hint of sweetness, these muffins are a winner with soups and stews or on their own with honey butter.

Ingredients

• ⅔ cup cornmeal
• ⅔ cup whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons canola or olive oil
• ⅔ cup buttermilk, shaken

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
2. Mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar and baking powder in a medium bowl.
3. Combine the egg, oil and buttermilk in a small bowl and whisk until well mixed.
4. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and stir until incorporated. Don’t overmix or the cornbread could be tough.
5. Divide evenly among paper-lined muffin tins or foil muffin liners on a baking sheet.
6. Bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
