Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin pan or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
