Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Mix

  • ⅔ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup yellow cornmeal (medium grind)
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons oil

For Muffins

  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • Butter or oil for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Prepare Muffin Mix: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the oil and stir until fully combined with no lumps. Store the mixture in an airtight mason jar or zip-top bag for future use.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin using butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Make Muffin Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the prepared muffin mix, the egg, and milk. Stir well until the batter is uniform and smooth.
  4. Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the cornmeal to hydrate, improving texture.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Using a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop or spoon, evenly divide the batter into the six muffin wells.
  6. Bake the Muffins: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 14 to 18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For best results, use medium grind cornmeal as it balances texture and moisture.
  • You can substitute milk with buttermilk for a tangier flavor.
  • Mix can be stored for up to 1 month in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Add extras like shredded cheese or jalapeños to the batter for variation.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if using mini or jumbo muffin pans.
