Cornbread Muffins

Beachmouse, you should be shot.

The recipe on the package of "Aunt Jemimah's Buttermilk Cornmeal" is a great southern cornbread recipe. My Grandmas always used bacon grease as the oil, and they made some great cornbread. Trying to eat 'mo-better, I use olive oil instead of the bacon grease, and I think the cornbread is just as tasty as my grandmas'. If you like a little sweeter cornbread, add a touch more sugar. Of course, if you want to get a little fancy, add a few kernels of corn or diced Jalape?o peppers into the mix. Good stuff.

The real Southerners are going to mock me for saying it, but for a quick way to satisfy a corn muffin jones, the Jiffy box mixes aren't bad, and are widely available in the Midwest.

Beachmouse: jiffy is great for corn muffins - yes! add some blueberries, and you've got a delicious treat. but, if you are hankering for real cornbread to go with your collards or fried chicken dinner, jiffy will not do at all.

YUM, bring on the recipes. I never met a cornbread I didn't like.

My recipe is on the corn pudding thread. I love it!

Y'all, I need to resurrect this thread because I'm looking for a corn muffin recipe for the slightly sweeter version of traditional cornbread. We have a BBQ hole in the wall here that sells them--they're almost good enough to be dessert--and I want to make them for dinner (er, supper) tonight.
P.S. Please hurry, it is sleeting like a mothergrabber here, and I have to get to the grocery store soon!

I take the recipe off of the side of the Quaker corn meal box and add a little sugar. Brush the tops of the muffins with a little butter right after taking them out of the oven.

pea2thePod, see post #11. It's the best, and just add a bit more sugar. Good stuff.

I like to use Jiffy Mix and add some frozen whole kernal corn. Yum!
