COPYCAT FAMOUS DAVE'S CORNBREAD MUFFINS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a muffin pan with 16 liners and set aside.
• In a large bowl mix together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
• In a separate medium bowl, cream together eggs, sugar, shortening and vanilla using an electric mixer.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir.
• Add in milk, vegetable oil, and honey. Mix well until batter is smooth.
• Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full and bake for 18-20 minutes (watch for the tops to turn or until golden).
• Remove from oven and top each muffin with butter while they are hot so that the butter can melt and sink into the muffin.

BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into a well-seasoned 9-inch cast-iron skillet (see Cook's Note) and place over medium-high heat. Pour the cornmeal into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the cornmeal and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. With a fork, stir in enough of the buttermilk to make a batter that is thick but can be easily poured into the hot skillet. You may not need all 3 cups.
• Carefully pour the batter into the skillet. The oil will come up around the edges. Use the back of a spoon to smooth this over the top of the batter. Continue to heat on the stovetop for 1 minute, then transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the cornbread until browned on top, about 20 minutes. Immediately turn the cornbread out onto a cooling rack to keep the crust crisp.
