Classic Corn Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Corn Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and give 12 muffin cups a light greasing to ensure your muffins pop out easily later.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, white sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

   Stir these dry ingredients together until they’re well blended, creating a lovely base for your muffins.

   Next, pour in the buttermilk, melted butter, and a beaten egg.

   Gently mix everything together until just combined—remember, a few lumps are perfectly fine; overmixing can lead to tough muffins.

   Now, it’s time to fill those muffin cups! Spoon the batter evenly into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full for the perfect rise.
