Homestyle Cornbread Muffins

I love cornbread! I didn't think there was a recipe out there that could beat the MTC's cornbread, but I found it. This is the BEST cornbread recipe I ever! I make it all the time with soups and chilli's. You never need to buy another mix if you keep a box of corn meal in your cupboard. I got this recipe from my Relief Society president, Katie Bond. I don't know where she got it, but she made it for an activity once and I had to have it!
