Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. Add 1/2 teaspoon shortening (or oil) to each cup of a standard 12-cup muffin tin. Put the tin on a baking sheet and place in the oven to heat while mixing the cornbread.
  3. Sift the cornmeal mix, flour, and salt into a medium mixing bowl.
  4. Add the egg and milk. Whisk together just until mixed (do not over mix).
  5. Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven and fill each cup 3/4 full with cornbread batter.
  6. Return the baking sheet and tin to the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Remove and allow the muffin to sit in the tin on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
  8. Remove the muffins from the tin.
  9. Serve warm or room temperature with butter and honey, if desired.

Notes

  • Ingredients:
  • Storage:
  • Self-Rising Cornmeal Mix (I recommend Martha White Hot Rize brand (either white or yellow). If you can’t find it, you can use plain cornmeal with 4 teaspoons of baking powder added.)• Shortening (such as Crisco; substitute canola oil or vegetable oil if you prefer.)
  • After the muffins have cooled completely, transfer them to an airtight container or ziploc bag. Store at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. A paper towel in the bottom of the container will help absorb any moisture and keep the muffins fresher.
  • To freeze, wrap individual servings in aluminum foil and place in a plastic freezer container or bag. Freeze for up to three months. To serve, allow the muffins to thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave
