Ingredients:

  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted , plus additional for buttering muffin cups
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups well-shaken buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup drained bottled pimentos (4 oz), patted dry and finely chopped

Directions:

  1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F. Generously butter muffin cups.
  2. Whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and butter (1/2 stick) in another bowl, then stir into flour mixture along with pimentos until just combined.
  4. Divide batter among muffin cups (about 1/3 cup each) and bake until a wooden pick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean, about 12 minutes. Turn out muffins onto a rack and cool to warm.
  5. Cooks' note: Muffins can be made 8 hours ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then kept in an airtight container at room temperature. To reheat, arrange in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan, then sprinkle lightly with water and bake, covered with foil, in a 325°F oven until warm, about 10 minutes.
