Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
