where did that recipe for cornmeal blueberry muffins go?

Am I losing my mind? I thought one was posted here just the other day.

1. No recipe-- someone just mentioned...

it in my avocado pudding thread.

However, why do you need a recipe? Get a package of corn muffin mix, preferably on sale, and toss some blueberries in the batter. Frozen will do if they're not in season by you.

(Cranberries, blackberries, and raspberries work well, too)

2. I can't buy corn muffin mix.

Someone in my family won't allow mixes in the house. Plus, I like baking from scratch.

In any event, I found it.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 cup frozen blueberries


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
Sift flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, salt and baking powder together into a large bowl. Dredge the blueberries in the sifted ingredients. In a small bowl, combine the milk, butter and egg. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Let muffins sit for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

5. Oh. OK. Truth is, I hate most mixes, but the Jiffy...

corn muffin mix actually works pretty well and some other house brand corn muffin mixes are OK, too. Dunno why corn muffin mixes are the only ones that don't taste like toxic soup.

Coupla things I do with cornbread, mix or scratch-- replace the milk with plain yogurt (it makes a smoother crumb and adds a little bite-- or buttermilk works, too) and I try to use leaf lard as half the fat. If I can't get decent lard, which I usually can't, I use bacon drippings.

4. Actually I did post it in a thread

before I saw yours. It's here:

3. anyhoo, here it is

Just in case anyone wants to try it. They just came out of the oven and they are really good. I used Bob's Red Mill coarse grind cornmeal.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 cup frozen blueberries
