Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Generously grease a 12 cup muffin pan with 1/4 cup butter; set aside. In a small saucepan, melt remaining 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Add green onion and garlic; cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Place muffin pan in oven to heat. In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal mix, flour, garlic powder and pepper; stir in cheese. In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, egg and butter mixture. Add buttermilk mixture to cornmeal mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon batter into hot muffin pan, filling tree-fourths full. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan for 5 minutes. Remove from pan.
