Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Fine cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 Egg, large
- 3 tablespoons Chives, chopped
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and egg until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Step 5
Fold in the chopped chives and shredded cheddar cheese (if using) until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Step 9
Enjoy these muffins plain, with butter, or as a side to your favorite soups and salads!
