Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Unleavened Cornbread Muffins.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a warm 425°F (220°C). This will ensure your muffins rise beautifully and develop a lovely golden color. While the oven warms up, take a moment to grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line it with muffin papers for easy removal later on.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, white sugar, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed, creating a delightful base for your muffins. Now, make a little well in the center of the mixture – this is where the magic happens!
Step 3
Crack the egg into the well, then pour in the melted shortening and milk. With a gentle hand, stir everything together until just blended. You want to mix it enough to combine the ingredients, but don’t overdo it; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
Step 4
Now it’s time to fill those muffin cups! Spoon the batter into each prepared cup, filling them about two-thirds full. This will give them room to rise without overflowing.
Step 5
Pop the muffin pan into your preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Keep an eye on them, and when a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, they’re ready to shine!
Step 6
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy these warm, savory cornbread muffins as a delightful side or snack!
