CORNBREAD MUFFINS
Cornbread muffins go with any meal. Hot cornbread muffins straight from the oven slathered with butter just can’t be beat. My family loves cornbread and it has always been served at many meals in my house. These cornbread muffins are on my table several times a week and we can even eat them as a snack cold. Take them to any event or gathering and you will be asked for the recipe. This is the way my mother made muffins many years ago and the bacon drippings make the recipe.
Cornbread Muffins Ingredients Needed:
Self-rising white cornmeal
Buttermilk
Self rising flour
Eggs
Bacon grease
Cooking spray
You can make this recipe in a skillet, too. Just grease your skillet and add batter, cook at the same temperature until golden brown on top or about 30 minutes. You can also make your own self rising flour and self rising cornmeal.

I love that there is no sugar in this recipe! I never put sugar in my cornbread, but never tried making muffins. I will definitely make this one!
YAY! Yes, we love no sugar cornbread, even though we have a few recipes for it on the site, since people do like it.
Can’t wait to try these! What do I have to do to make the muffins in a cast iron skillet? Printing out the recipes for your Cornbread Dressing for Thanksgiving now, instead of waiting for the last minute.
Do you have a muffin tin that is cast iron. I don’t know how you would make them in a cast iron without that.
Oh my goodness was I surprised! I grew up on cornbread but as an adult most cornbread to me is either way to sweet (Jiffy corn muffins) or to dry. But these are soooooo good that I had to make myself quit at two. DELISH!!!!
Thanks for your great recipes. I have saved so many and used a lot of them. Your cornbread looks amazing! Last night for supper I made pork roast, mashed potatoes and kraut, cornbread in a skillet. It stuck to the skillet and came out in crumbs. I was so disappointed. I love cornbread sopped in butter!
Love following you on Facebook. Thanks!
Can’t wait to make ur meal you made tonight. All looks so good. I needed a good corn muffin recipe too. I can eat those by themself.
Thank you
Cynthia.

I used yellow corn meal and it didn’t work. The mixture was quite soupy and even after 37 minutes in the oven it wasn’t done. Is the liquid amount correct? Thanks.
Was the yellow cornmeal self rising? The measurements are correct and we make these muffins weekly. Never had an issue.
What can I use when it calls for Self Rising White Cornmeal, we have just regular corn meal up north here in Maine?
