Corn Muffins
These classic corn muffins blend Bisquick with cornmeal for a quick and satisfying bake that’s slightly sweet, tender on the inside, and golden-crisp on the outside. Originally designed to be baked in a stick mold or muffin tin, this recipe reflects mid-20th-century American shortcuts and pantry staples. Loved for its simplicity, speed, and nostalgic flavor, it pairs beautifully with soups, chilis, or breakfast spreads.
