Cornbread Muffins

On a rare Monday off, I've decided to make a chili-and-cornbread meal. Here's my recipe for cornbread muffins.

Cornbread Muffins
(makes 1 dozen muffins)

1 C cornmeal
1 C milk
1 C all-purpose flour
1/2 C white sugar
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1/3 C olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Place cupcake liners in muffin pan.
2. Lightly whisk cornmeal and milk together; let stand 10 minutes.
3. Combine dry ingredients.
4. Mix in egg and olive oil.
5. Add cornmeal mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.
6. Evenly distribute batter in muffin tin.
7. Bake about 15 minutes at 400 F until light golden. Toothpick inserted in center should emerge with just a few fine crumbs clinging to it.
