I only gave this 4 stars because it was good, but not great. This was likely my fault! I halved the recipe and that sometimes does not work out so good. I will likely make it again when we have company and make a full batch. They were good, but just a little too sweet and we like sweet cornbread.

These are fantastic! I also used 1/2 cup sugar and did not miss it. Following Pierre's suggestion, I sprinkled (one very small conservative sprinkle) Cayenne pepper into the dry ingredients. I liked it and would do it again, but I do think I can taste it. Perhaps it's because I know it's there. No one else mentioned any heat. I sprayed my muffin tin because when I use paper liners with corn muffins, half the muffin sticks to the paper. The recipe yielded 24 mini muffins (baked for 7 minutes in a dark pan) and 4 Texas sized muffins at 15 minutes. Dawn, thank you for sharing a corn muffin recipe I can finally keep!

Incredibly Good!!! I made these for lunch today and realized I'd not posted a review, so here goes. The only change I make, is to add 1/4 teaspoon of Cayenne to the dry ingredients before mixing them. This doesn't add any heat to the muffins, it just helps bring out the taste of the corn meal. You'll never know the Cayenne is there 'til you leave it out, then you'll miss it. Every once in a while, just for a change of flavors, I sub. Sorghum for the honey. (I'm a bad boy. I can't help playing with my food.) If I'm making Corn Sticks in my cast iron bread stick pan I sub. Cream style Corn for the whole, cutting back on milk a bit. I freeze leftover Corn Sticks, they reheat nicely. I'm hard pressed to think of a meal that wouldn't be enhanced by serving these muffins/corn sticks. Soups, Stews, and Chili go naturaly with them. Thanx for posting this great recipe. Pierre

I really liked the hint of honey in these muffins. I used 1/2 cup of sugar. The sweetness and flavor reminds me of Baked Corn Casserole Baked Corn Casserole.
