Maple Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins
My go to cornbread recipe is the one off the back of a bag of Purity brand cornmeal that I made a couple of adjustments to. It's awesome; The cornmeal is awesome, too, because it's finely ground.
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup maple syrup + 2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup blueberries
1. Combine cornmeal and milk and let the mixture stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
2. Add butter and egg to the milk and cornmeal mixture. Mix well. Add to dry ingredients, stirring until just combined (Apparently, this is important because too much mixing will cause tunnels to form in the finished cornbread). Fold the berries in while you're combining the wet and dry ingredients.
3. Spoon batter into lightly greased muffin cups (about 3/4 full each cup). Pop these into the oven and bake at 400 F for 15 to 20 minutes.
