This was a nice cornbread recipe, that I made into muffins. Thank you for sharing julestoo. My dh loved that they were not overly sweet and that it was a little gritty. The muffins were light and airy, crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. These little muffins were very very fragile...treat them gently. Made for Spring Pac 2014.
