Notes
- The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients and a serving size of 1 cornbread muffin. Actual calories will vary.
- If you use a combination of buttermilk and whole milk, you may not need as much liquid as the recipe calls for. Otherwise, the batter will be too thin and won't back properly. Try using 1 cup of buttermilk and 1/4 cup of milk to start. You'll also want to reduce the salt a bit.
- Store leftovers at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 4.
