   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                cup  lowfat 1% milk -- or whole milk, heated to 110F
   4        tablespoons  unsalted butter -- melted and cooled slightly
   1 1/2      teaspoons  instant yeast
   1              large  egg
   1 3/4           cups  all-purpose flour
   1                cup  cornmeal -- NOTES:
      1/4           cup  packed light brown sugar
   1           teaspoon  salt

The Test Kitchen recommends Quaker's finely ground yellow 
cornmeal.  On day two,  these muffins make delicious toast: Halve 
butter and brown-buttered side down - in a frying pan over med side 
down - in a frying pan over med heat.  Lowfat is OK, but don't use 
skim milk here.

Warm oven.  Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 
200F.  When oven reaches 200F, turn it off.  Grease 12 muffin tins

Mix batter.  Whisk milk, butter, and yeast in large liquid measuring 
cup until yeast dissolves, then whisk in eggs.  In bowl of stand 
mixer fitted with paddle attachment, mix 1/2 c flour, cornmeal, brown 
sugar, and salt until combined.  With mixer on low, add milk mixture 
in a steady stream and mix until dough comes together, about 1 
min.  Gradually add remaining flour until incorporated.  Increase 
speed to med-high and beat until batter is thick and elastic about 3 min.

Let rise.  Using greased 1/4 c measure, transfer batter to muffin 
cups.  Cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and place in 
turned-off oven until butter reaches rims of muffin cups, about 1 hr.

Bake muffins.  Remove muffin tin from oven and heat oven to 
375F.  Discard plastic and bake muffins until golden brown 15 - 20 
min, then turn out onto wire rack.  Serve.  (Muffins can be stored in 
airtight container at room temp for 3 days.)

Make Ahead:  Filled muffin tin can be refrigerated, covered, for 24 
hrs.  Let batter sit at room temp for 1 hr before proceeding with Step 4.
