Sweet Cornbread Muffins

1 Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and spray with baking spray. Set aside.
2 Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine.
3 Melt the butter in the microwave. (You can also technically warm it IN the milk.) Add the milk and sugar to the same bowl. Stir to combine.
4 Add the egg to the wet ingredients. Whisk until the egg is completely incorporated.
5 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
6 Mix with a rubber spatula until the batter comes together.
7 Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to measure a little more than 3 tablespoons of batter into the prepared muffin tin.
8 Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops have browned slightly and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
9 Cool on a wire rack.
10 Enjoy warm with your favorite entree or main dish.
