Quick Corn Muffins (From Scratch)

9 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unbleached flour
  • 3/4 cup cake flour
  • 1 cup fine yellow cornmeal
  • 1/3 cup unbleached cane sugar (I used 1/4 cup sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (I used sour milk or buttermilk will work, too.)
  • 1/3 cup oil (safflower for us)
  • 1 egg

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 400° and butter 12 regular-size or 6 jumbo muffin cups.
  2. 2
    Combine the standard flour, cake flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt mix in a large mixing bowl.
  3. 3
    In a small bowl combine the milk and oil. Whisk in the egg.
  4. 4
    Make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour in the liquid mixture and stir just until smooth; do not overmix. Tip: I have found it much easier to use a wire whisk to mix the batter.
  5. 5
    Spoon the batter into the buttered muffin cups.
  6. 6
    Bake the muffins on the center oven rack until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes for regular muffins or 20 to 25 minutes for jumbo muffins.
  7. 7
    Serve immediately fresh out of the oven!
