Cornmeal Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
• 2 large eggs
• Optional: 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned) for added sweetness and texture

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and eggs until well combined.

4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If using, gently fold in the corn kernels.

5. Fill Muffin Tins: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden.

7. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
