Cornmeal Muffins

This is one of my first recipes that I made up and the experience then snowballed into me making up a lot of recipes. This one took a few months to get just the way we wanted it  Buttery, moist, and they don't fall apart when you take off the muffin liner. They are pretty darn tasty, especially on the side of baked beans and pulled BBQ pork!

-1 1/4 C sugar
-3/4 tsp salt

-starting with the flour mixture add it alternatively with the buttermilk to the batter, mixing only until just combined between each addition. (ie add a little flour, mix until just combined, a little buttermilk mix until just combined, a little more flour, mix, a little more buttermilk, etc until everything is mixed together)
