• Baking your own corn muffins from scratch can be a very rewarding experience for both amateur and professional cooks alike. In order to bake a batch of tasty corn muffins, you must have the right ingredients and the right distribution of those ingredients in each muffin. While it may sound like a difficult task, finding and using the right ingredients for your project is not as hard as it may seem.
  
  

Dry Ingredients

• The dry ingredients that are required to bake a batch of corn muffins include flour, cornmeal, white sugar, baking powder and salt. These ingredients are all necessary if you wish to achieve the traditional taste of corn muffins.
  
  

Wet Ingredients

• Wet ingredients in a batch of corn muffins include eggs, canola oil, whole milk and melted butter. These ingredients help provide the corn muffins with a moist, yet cake-like taste.
  
  

Preparation

• Begin by mixing 1 cup of cornmeal with 1 cup of flour, 1/3 cup of white sugar, 2 tsp. baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt. Mix these ingredients thoroughly in a bowl until they are evenly dispersed throughout the batch. Then, add 1 beaten egg, 1/4 cup canola oil and 1 cup whole milk. Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl until they form an evenly mixed batter. For added taste, mix in 1/4 cup of melted butter before baking. Use a spoon to put equal portions of the batter into pre-formed muffin cups.
  
  

Baking

• Bake the corn muffins at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes. To test the muffins to make sure they are baked through, use a toothpick to pierce the center of a muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are ready. Allow approximately 30 minutes for the muffins to cool before eating them.
