CORN MUFFINS WITH YEAST 
1 pkg active dry yeast
2 cups milk, scalded and cooled
2 level tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons butter
2 eggs, well beaten
2 1/2 cups corn meal
1 cup sifted white flour
1 teaspoons salt

In a saucepan, heat milk until small bubbles form along edges. Remove from heat and let sit until lukewarm. Skim off any milk which has coagulated along edges or surface.

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm milk. Add butter, corn meal, flour, eggs and salt. Beat well.

Fill greased and floured muffin pans until two-thirds full.

Set to rise in a warm place, free from draft, until light - about 1 1/2 hours or until nearly doubled in bulk.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 20 minutes or until done.

These can be prepared the night before by reducing the yeast amount to 1/4 package and adding an extra 1/2 teaspoon salt if left to rise in a cool kitchen.

Corn Muffins with Yeast

 Engravogirl (Texas) says:
Excellent. Tried this recipe in a pinch - had a Texas ice storm and was ill prepared (a common misshap with hungry teenage boys in the house). Ran out of baking soda and eggs for Sunday breakfast. Substituted 1/2 cup mashed banana for the eggs- couldn't taste the banana. Served buttered and topped with country gravy & shredded cheddar. They were gobbled up without complaints. I will make these again; hopefully under better circumstances.
