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 extra large egg
• 1 cup milk

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F Spray 2 muffin tins with vegetable oil spray.
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.
6. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins. Bake at 400°F for 15-18 minutes, until the muffins have risen, are golden-brown and springy to the touch.
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.
