Cornbread muffins a la Kenny Rogers Roasters

Made with yellow cornmeal and fresh sweet corn, these muffins are subtly sweet although they still lean more toward savory. Straight out of the oven, they're just gorgeous — crusty outside, soft inside. Serve with fried chicken, pork ribs and beef brisket BBQ, or just by themselves as a filling snack.
