These buttermilk cornbread muffins are a perfect combination of sweet and savory, with a tender crumb and a slightly tangy flavor from the buttermilk. They are great as a side dish for chili or barbecue, or even on their own as a snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
