Notes

It's imperative that you use FINE ground cornmeal to make these muffins. 
Do not overcook the muffins or they will be dry.
Also, when the dry ingredients are added to the wet, do not over mix. Over mixing the batter will result in a tough muffin. Instead, gently fold and lightly whisk the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until it's all combined. 
Muffins are best served warm or room temp. with whipped butter.
