- Place the ungreased cast iron muffin tins (or suggested bakeware in the intro) in the oven and PREHEAT to 400 degrees.
- COMBINE cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Combine buttermilk, oil, egg (and vanilla extract if using) in small bowl; mix well.

- Carefully grease the muffin tin with butter. Pour batter into the tins, about 2/3 full.
- Bake for appproximately 20 minutes or until wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean.
