Notes
- Vegetable oil: Any neutral oil will work in this recipe.
- Whole milk: The fat in the whole milk helps to make the muffins moist. Another type of milk, like skim or 1%, can be used, but the muffins won't be as moist or as tender.
- Salted butter: If you prefer to use unsalted butter, increase the salt to 3/4 teaspoon.
- Yellow cornmeal: Feel free to use white cornmeal if you prefer.
- Sugar: The amount of sugar can be adjusted according to your tastes. I usually use 1/3 cup, and that amount gives me a lightly sweet muffin.
