Tips & Warnings

If you would like even sweeter muffins you can increase the sugar to 2 or 3 tablespoons. Any more than that and the muffins will be like a dessert bread rather than a corn muffin.
You can use white cornmeal if you prefer it.
A cornmeal mix can be used instead of mixing the flour and cornmeal yourself. You won't need the baking powder or salt if you use a mix.
