CORNBREAD MUFFINS I
These muffins are very similar to the ones found in a famous down-home cooking restaurant. They're so simple to make and taste great because they have real pieces of corn as well as corn meal.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Cornmeal: Use a medium or coarse grind cornmeal for a more rustic texture, or a fine grind for a smoother texture.
- Use Fresh Baking Powder: Old baking powder can result in flat, dense cornbread. To ensure a light and fluffy texture, make sure your baking powder is fresh.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough and dense cornbread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Preheat Your Oven: Always preheat your oven to the desired temperature before baking the cornbread. This helps ensure that the cornbread cooks evenly.
- Use a Cast Iron Skillet: A cast iron skillet provides excellent heat distribution, resulting in a crispy crust and evenly cooked cornbread. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- Add Some Sweetness: If you like your cornbread slightly sweet, you can add a tablespoon or two of honey, maple syrup, or sugar to the batter.
- Add Some Savory Herbs: For a savory twist, you can add some chopped fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or sage to the batter.
- Serve Warm: Cornbread is best served warm, right out of the oven. You can also toast it lightly for a crispy crust.
Conclusion:
With its slightly sweet, slightly savory flavor and a variety of ways to customize it, cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish. Whether you prefer it crispy or soft, sweet or savory, there's a cornbread recipe out there for everyone.
