I've never seen yellow corn meal for sale here...but not being a baker I might be wrong....they look lovely Bakerman.

Re: Sweet cornbread muffins

I bought yellow corn meal in Tescos.
In the World Foods aisle.

Will try your recipe Bakerman, thankyou.

I've done a variation of this a few times except baked in an 8-inch square tin lined with greaseproof paper. I use self-raising flour, plush an addition teaspoon of baking powder, and didn't use the melted butter using only oil. One cup of buttermilk was added to help the cake rise.

Hope BM doesn't mind - here's my version:

1/2 cup veg oil
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup self-raising flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

The flour is sifted with the added baking powder in a bowl then the cornmeal and sugar is added and stirred very lightly to mix.
All the wet ingredients (oil, eggs, buttermilk) are mixed together in a jug.
Make a well in the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet ingredients. Rapidly stir together with a blunt knife to incorporate everything to form a loose batter. Don't worry about any lumps that may have formed.

Pour the batter into the greased and lined baking tin and put in a pre-heated oven at around 180deg C (380 deg F) and cook for around 30-40 minutes until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

To make fat free Corn Bread.
Omit the buttermilk and fat and replace with a cup of Natural Plain Yogurt
