Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal

  • Sift together flour and baking powder in a medium bowl. Stir in cornmeal and salt until blended.
  • Cream together butter and sugar in a separate bowl at medium-high speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; beat in egg. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture alternately with milk, scraping bowl several times, until well blended. Gently fold in cranberries.
  • Spoon into greased or lined muffin pans, filling two-thirds full.
  • Bake at 400° for 20 to 22 minutes until muffins are set and just starting to turn light golden brown.
  • Cool in pans 2 minutes; turn out, and cool on wire rack for 3 to 5 more minutes. Serve warm.
