I have made these many times since the recipe was first published in 1987 (I think) and as often as not pair them with the black bean soup by Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey that the recipe was originally published with.
Sonia
There seems to be too little liquid? I had to add some extra milk to make a batter. It resembled cookie dough initially.
Lou
These corn muffins are always a hit! I follow the recipe exactly and have never had a bad batch. I do grease my muffin tin with bacon fat, which always helps :)
Annette
These muffins were a disappointment. I used a block of very sharp white cheddar and fresh chives from my garden, but the muffins were bland and they had too much cornmeal in them.

Grease the muffin tins with bacon fat. Makes everything taste better.
