Ingredients

1 ½ cups cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup sugar
1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
⅔ cup milk
⅔ cup buttermilk
¾ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly*)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or line a muffin pan with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the eggs, milk, buttermilk, and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop the batter into the muffin pan filling each cavity about ¾ of the way full.
Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven, and transfer to a cooling rack.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite soup or chili.

Notes

*Allow the butter to cool slightly after being melted; otherwise, it will scramble the eggs.
