- 1/2 cup oil, or melted shortening
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk, or yogurt, or sour
milk (powdered buttermilk is fine)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup flour
Into your favorite big bowl, measure the oil
or melted shortening. Crack in the eggs and
add the buttermilk (or other milk product).
Beat with a whisk until thoroughly combined.
Add the salt, sugar, soda, cornmeal and
flour. Stir casually, but not too
aggressively. When mixed, but still lumpy
stop stirring. Oil up a dozen muffin cups.
Divide the batter evenly amongst the muffin
cups. Bake at 400° for about 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cool slightly
before eating. These are very very good.
Perfect for company meals with a nice pot of
homemade chili.
