Cornbread Muffins

I've made cornbread muffins a few times, and I think they are delicious. I was quickly trying to finish dinner the other day because the missionaries were coming over to eat and we were running late. The recipe called for the normal ingredients: corn meal, flour, sugar, melted butter, etc.

When they came out of the oven, they hadn't risen as much as they normally do, and they didn't look as yellow as they usually do. But whatever, maybe I just remembered wrong.

After I ate one, I noticed they were definitely more dense than the last time I made them. It must be because I had only made them in Utah, which is at a higher altitude and much drier climate than San Diego.

Yeah. That must be it.

Dinner goes fine. Nobody mentions anything about the muffins.

The next morning, I go to heat up some oatmeal in the microwave and... what? Why is there a bowl in the microwave? I pull it out and look inside the bowl.

WHAT?


HERE IS THE PARTIALLY MELTED (and re-solidified) BUTTER THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO IN THE MUFFINS!

And suddenly it all made sense.
