Simple Cornbread Muffins

Oh the Grist Mill. That was such a fun day. We picked up the corn meal and flour from there for a donation and then promptly made these corn bread muffins. The recipe was in a stack on the wall. They are not a sweet cornbread despite having some sugar in them. I’m not sure if it was the freshly ground flours, but after about a day or two in airtight containment, they do get a little crumbly. I suggest eating them over the sink or near a scavenging cattle dog who loves to eat your crumbs.
