  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place corn in a food processor and pulse until it’s roughly chopped.
  • In medium bowl combine butter, masa harina, wine, and milk. Beat until creamy.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the corn meal, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Add to the wet ingredients and beat until smooth.
  • Add chopped corn and stir to combine.
  • Grease a regular size muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Spoon the batter into the cups, about 2 tablespoons each.
