Fishing Bobbers: I bake it so you don't have to.

So I invited my parents for dinner on a whim, let's be honest my mom doesn't like cooking and she rarely turns down a meal she doesn't have to cook. Let's be honest - would I? Probably not... be invited somewhere for dinner and I don't have to cook, plan or serve it? Hell yeah! Anyway... I was trying to not stop at the grocery store, yet again, I did not have time to make yeast rolls. I know my family loves corn muffins so I thought - oh I'll grab a recipe and double it... bam corn muffins. Let's talk about these corn muffins... they are dry as cork. I actually decided they would work REALLY well as fishing bobbers because they really do not absorb liquid. They just suck all the moisture from your mouth leaving you longing for a full glass of anything to drink to choke it down. I'll give you the recipe but I'm not giving it high ratings... or any ratings... these weren't great... but hey... maybe you need fishing bobbers... or maybe you need something to get rid of those damp corners in your basement and feed your mice at the same time. Don't worry... I'll be here... baking away... the good and the bad... I bake it so you don't have to.

Copycat Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
Ingredients
Muffin Mix
⅔ cup flour
½ cup yellow cornmeal (I used medium grind)
3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons oil

Cornbread Muffins
1 egg
⅓ cup milk

Instructions
To Make Muffin Mix
Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
Add oil, and mix until combined thoroughly, and there are no lumps. Store in a mason jar or zip top bag.
To Make Cornbread Muffins
Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease muffin tin (I use butter).
Mix together muffin mix, egg, and milk until well combined.
Allow batter to rest about 3 minutes. Stir a couple times, then divide evenly between 6 wells in the muffin tin (I use a 3 Tablespoon cookie scoop).
Bake 14-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
