Instructions

Step 1: Prep and Mix Dry Ingredients

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, sift the ¾ cup cornmeal, 1 ½ cups flour, 5 tsps baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and ¼ cup sugar together until thoroughly combined.

Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients and Batter

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk the 1 cup milk, 1 beaten egg, and 3 tbsps oil together until smooth.
  2. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; do not overmix so the batter remains slightly lumpy.
  3. Fill the prepared muffin cups about two-thirds full with the batter.

Step 3: Bake

  1. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Store leftover cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
