2. In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl or saucepan, melt the butter.
4. Whisk the egg lightly while the butter cools a bit, then add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter.
5. 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.

7. Pop out of the tins and let cool a bit before serving.

DH and I loved these little gems. So light but crispy on the outside. Went great with our chili but will be wonderful for snacking also.

Loved these. I used Splenda instead of sugar, but they were delicious nonetheless.
