Classic American Cornbread Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs lightly beaten

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. 2 In a large bowl, combine the sifted flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
3. 3 In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and lightly beaten eggs until well combined.
4. 4 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
5. 5 Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. 7 Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
