Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer.

Step 4

Add milk and oil and mix on low. Add two slightly beaten eggs to the mixture and whisk or lightly beat to incorporate.

Step 5

Slowly add the cornmeal mixture in; mixing the two together with a fork until combined. The batter should be slightly airy and sticky.

Step 6

Spoon into a greased muffin tin and bake for 18-20 minutes at 350F, using a toothpick to test the center of the muffins for doneness.

Step 7

Allow to cool. Of course typical cooling protocol in this household involves munching a molten hot muffin while the others chill to room temperature. Enjoy! <3
