Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease a 12 hole muffin tray with oil or butter. Set aside.
- Chop the onion and slice the kernels off the corn or use corn from a can. In a medium frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add corn kernels and onion and fry over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes or until golden and soft. If using sweetcorn from a can, then fry just until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl mix flour, cornmeal, salt and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and milk. Stir in the dry ingredients, corn/onion mixture and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Divide between the prepared muffin tins and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.Note: the muffins will not rise too much, so you can fill the tins to almost full.
- Best served warm.Enjoy!
