AT YOUR PACE, STEP BY STEP
Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
Mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
In another bowl, lightly whisk the eggs, milk, and oil until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold with a spatula just until the flour is moistened; a few small lumps are normal. Divide between the liners, filling them three-quarters full.
Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, until golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. The tops should feel firm when gently touched.
Rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm. Keep cooled muffins well covered in a cool place for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
Yellow cornmeal is not cornstarch. Do not use precooked arepa flour either, because it absorbs liquid differently.
Times are approximate and vary with your oven. Use oven mitts and check doneness before serving.
