Savory Cheddar Cheese Cornbread Muffins



Tip: Read directions completely before preparing.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
2 heaping tablespoons minced yellow onion
2 heaping tablespoons minced red bell pepper
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Melt butter in large skillet on low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Quickly add eggs and beat until well blended.



Combine buttermilk, onion, red bell pepper with baking soda and stir into mixture in pan. Place cornmeal, flour, and salt in a large mixing bowl and mix well, add to pan mixture, until well blended and few lumps remain. Add cheese and mix into batter.




Spray 12 muffin standard pan, with pan spray, such as Pam. Pour into non-stick muffin cups, making them about a little over two-thirds full.



Bake until golden, about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Have them hot out of the oven with butter! Prepare some beans as a side dish! Enjoy!


Tip: "Corn bread was not invented. It was a product of cultural exchange and practical necessity. Corn [aka maize] is a new world food. Native Americans were cooking with ground corn long before the European explorers set foot on new world soil."
