I had to come up with something to take into the 4H meeting that wouldn't take me too long to make, but wouldn't be any less delicious! I decided to make a batch of mini muffins. And what goes best with muffins, some butter. So I spiced up the butter and added in some blueberries to the muffins... Easy for eating, easy for sharing, and easily delicious :-)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Then to a mixing bowl, add 1 cup cornmeal and 1/2 cup of flour...
1 teaspoon of salt...
1 tablespoon of baking powder...
2 tablespoons of sugar...
1 cup of buttermilk...
1/2 cup of milk (I used 1%)...
1/2 teaspoon baking soda... whisk together.
In a small bowl whisk 1 egg...
Whisk into the mixture...
With 1/4 cup of melted Crisco...
And finally 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla...
Now, fold in 8 oz of dried blueberries. The puff up in the inside of the muffins while they bake and are SO delicious!
Pour into the greased muffin tins and bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
While you wait, you can whip up the butter! Add 1 stick of butter to a mixing bowl... beat until fluffy.
Add in 2 tablespoons of sugar... Whip together, and scrape into a glass bowl.
Take 1 whole vanilla bean and cut with sharp knife down the middle. Using the back of the knife, scrap out all the beans or "caviar" into the butter.
Fold together, cover and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
When the muffins are done, place on a cooling rack... Or pop one of these hot babies right into your mouth. Serve with butter. Enjoy!
