Sweet Cornbread Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
2/3 cup granulated sugar
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 extra large egg
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F Spray 2 muffin tins with vegetable oil spray.
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl or saucepan, melt the butter.
Whisk the egg lightly while the butter cools a bit, then add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the mixed liquid, stirring lightly until just blended. Don't over-mix because the muffins will be tough.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tins. Bake at 400\u00b0F for 15-18 minutes, until the muffins have risen, are golden-brown and springy to the touch.
Pop out of the tins and let cool a bit before serving.
