The best corn bread muffins ever! Thank you.
I recommend avoiding this recipe. This recipe has too much sugar, too much butter and too much salt. Not good.
Most of the pickle flavor is in the butter, which is a little salty in my opinion, so I would try it again with no salt or 1/4 tsp. Then add more if needed. Other than that, yum!
The recipe does not specify which kind of cornmeal to use but because of the way it is listen and the other ingredients, I am presuming that plain cornmeal is used as opposed to self-rising meal. Is this correct? I want to make a batch but want to know, for sure, before I mess up. Thank you.
Since the recipe calls for all purpose flour as opposed to self rising, and also calls for baking power. I would think all purpose corn meal would be correct.
I think that you guys should open an interactive forum where all of these “neat” reports and recollections may be collated and sorted for the years to come. I imagine that there would be a much greater response and interest.
