Creamy Corn Muffins from 1897

[Eleanor Rose]

​

This authentic recipe for Corn Muffins comes from The Up-to-Date Cook Book published in 1897 by St. John's Church, Montgomery County, Maryland. Keep in mind that period recipes for corn muffins that do not contain sugar are meant to be made with naturally more flavorful stone-ground cornmeal. Sugar started to be added when roller-milled cornmeal was used to add back flavor that was depleted by the roller milling process.
