Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Mix the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl whisk together whole milk, maple syrup, melted and cooled butter and eggs.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix until well combined. Butter 2 muffin pans well and fill each muffin cup with the batter no more than 2/3s full. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are slightly golden.
  • To make the maple butter, whip the maple syrup with softened butter until light and fluffy.

Notes

Instead of using paper liners for these muffins I recommend greasing the muffins pan cups really well.
This produces nicely crisp exterior, which is a far superior texture for these corn muffins.
