I love cornmeal, and though didn't grow up in the south, I did grow up on my mother's cornbread and corn muffins! Now I'm experimenting with different kinds of corn meal, everything from stone ground and fine ground yellow to white pre-cooked fine corn flour. Although, as a gluten-free cook, I try as often as possible to include higher protein flours in my baking, sometimes corn is just seems right, like in these raisin corn muffins. Thought I'd freeze them for a while, but they went too fast, they're so good!
The cornbread recipe below is made with two grinds of corn, one stone-ground cornmeal and the other, ultra-fine. If you can only find stone-ground, use all-purpose gluten-free flour for the fine-grind cornmeal, if you want more delicate muffins.
