- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Spray muffin tin with nonstick spray or line with paper muffin cups.
- Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Stir well.
- Combine beaten egg, milk and melted butter (if using normal butter add less salt).

- Scoop batter into prepared muffin pans.
- Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of muffins before baking if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes .
Tips:
- Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best for cornbread, but frozen corn can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
- Use buttermilk: Buttermilk gives cornbread a tender and moist crumb. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix the ingredients until just combined.
- Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the cornbread rise quickly and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Serve the cornbread warm: Cornbread is best served warm with butter, honey, or jam.
