How to make Pimento Corn Muffins

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 218°C. Generously butter muffin cups.

Whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt in a bowl.

Whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and butter (1/2 stick) in another bowl, then stir into flour mixture along with pimentos until just combined.

Divide batter among muffin cups (about 80ml each) and bake until a wooden pick inserted in centre of a muffin comes out clean, about 12 minutes. Turn out muffins onto a rack and cool to warm.
