Corn Meal Muffins

1 ½ cups yellow corn meal
1 cup unbleached white flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ cup sugar
½ tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
¼ cup vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 400 F. Grease or paper 12 muffin cups.
Mix dry ingredients; mix wet ingredients; add one to the other and mix until just blended. Let sit 5 minutes.
Fill muffin tins ¾ full. Bake for 15 min.

Equally tasty in loaf-type form, thought it takes much longer to cook. This is one of my favorites which Chris and I made 4billion times this summer.

I totally forgot.
Don't buy the ghee from a store. Make it from butter. I don't know exactly how much unsalted butter => x volume of ghee but the ratio is >1. Assume 1.5x . Just put the unsalted butter in a pot and heat mildly. It should melt and froth. When the bubbling calms and there is a layer of yellow froth covering the top, you are done. Decant the golden fluid (ghee) and leave the charred/dark milk solids behind. This fluid, when allowed to cool, will congeal to a yellow semi-solid that is ghee (depending on ambient temp). If you make the ghee right before you make the halwa, note that the hot fluid occupies more volume than the semi-solid and the measurement was for x semi-solid ghee. So you may need 1.2x liquid ghee.
