1 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoon melted butter
1 2/3 cups blueberries
1 cup flour
2  1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg slightly beaten

Preheat oven to 400* degrees.  Line muffin cups with paper liners.  Combine
cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in mixing bowl.  Make a well
in the center and pour the buttermilk, butter and egg into the well.  Stir just
until combined.  Fold in blueberries.  Fill each cup 3/4 full with batter.  Bake
20 to 25 minutes.  To add sparkle and crunch to these muffins, scatter the
tops with coarse sugar before baking.  The muffins are compact and corning
rather then cakey and sweet.  Spread with butter, honey or mascarpone at
the table.

This a southern dish.  Some people do not like grits.  Whether you do or don't

instead of the sharp cheddar if desired.

2 eggs, slightly beaten

GRANDMOTHER'S FRIED CORN
 

Using fresh corn, about 10 ears, shuck the corn and remove all silks.  Wash the ears and
cut the corn off the cob with a sharp knife.  Scrape the ears to get all the remaining corn
and liquid.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tbs. butter or oleo to the skillet.  Let
melt and begin to brown slightly.
Add the corn and liquid to the skillet.  May add a little water for desired consistency if too
thick.  Stir constantly when it begins to cook to keep from sticking.  Reduce heat to low
and cook about 30 minutes, stirring frequently.  Add salt to taste.  May add pepper or a
little sugar, if desired.

grandmother made her own lye with ashes.
