Cornmeal Gems

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Melted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 Egg

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3. 3In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
4. 4Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. 5Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
6. 6Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. 7Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
