Perfect Cornbread Muffins With Corn

So I went and handed in all of my paper work and got finger printed..... so I guess I really am gonna become a nanny/sitter during my breaks.... Well at least I got a few days off right??
This recipe is a favorite of mine. I normally could not make cornbread well at all. It always came out too tough and just waaayy too over worked. Also I never could get a real good corn taste, but this recipe changed all of that. I make them in mini muffin tins but you can easily make them in regular sized muffins or in a skillet. Makes 48 mini muffins
