Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams yellow cornmeal
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 250 milliliters buttermilk
- 60 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
