Mrs. T's Famous Corn Bread

We got some super delicious corn bread the other day from hubby's friend's wife!  They were so yummy that  I just had to ask for the recipe.  I called these "Mrs. T's Famous Corn Bread!!"

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup flour
1 cup corn meal (Jiffy cornbread mix is ok)

optional:
1/2 cup of golden canned corn

Directions:
** Preheat the oven to 375**
1) Whisk together the melted butter and sugar
2) Add egg & whisk them together
3) Add buttermilk, but shake buttermilk before pouring in
4) Add baking soda
5) Add salt, flour, and cornmeal.  Use a spatula to blend everything

OPTIONAL 6) Add 1/2 cup of canned corn and blend

7) Line the muffin tin with cupcake holders, preferably the tin foil kind.
8) Pour in your mixture.  It's ok to have the mixture almost to the brim; it doesn't rise too much

PICTURE INSTRUCTIONS:
** preheat your oven to 375**
Ingredients

Step 1: Whisk together the melted butter and sugar

Step 2: Add eggs & whisk them together

Step 3: Add buttermilk

Step 4: Add baking soda and mix well

** note: I accidentally put 1tsp instead of 1/2 tsp and it turned out fine**

Step 5: Add salt, flour, and cornmeal.  Mix well with spatula, but don't over-mix.

Optional Step 6: Add 1/2 cup of corn, if you want actual corn in your corn bread :)

Step 7: Now line your muffin tray.  I used the 3 muffins by 4 muffins tray.  The batter only yielded about 9 muffins.  If you have foil muffin holders, those work best.  You want to avoid using the paper kind, because they will burn the muffins.  I ran out of the tin foil muffin holders, so I had to improvise some DIY holders.

Step 8: Pour your batter in each muffin holder.  It's ok that they are close to the brim because the batter doesn't rise too much.  It also makes some nice muffin tops :)

Make sure your oven is set at 375.  Leave the tray in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until each muffin is golden brown!

ALL DONE!!! GOLDEN BROWN!!!

These corn bread/muffin are crunch on top but soft, fluffy, and moise on the inside.  Sooooo yummy!!!

For my healthy readers who are concerned about calories, the ENTIRE batter contains about 2668 calories.  Since the batter yields 9 muffins, each muffin is about 296.4 calories.  I ate one and a half, and I walked most of it off after dinner. :)

ENJOY!!!  Thank you Mrs. T!! Hope you like today's PICK!
