Now, let’s gather our ingredients!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup creamed corn (canned or fresh)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray it with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well incorporated.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until the mixture is smooth.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the creamed corn gently, ensuring it’s evenly distributed through the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These muffins are best served warm with butter spread over the top. You can enjoy them with breakfast or as a side to your favorite soup or stew. Happy baking!
