Note

Microwave Directions: Prepare muffin batter as directed above. Using a 6-cup microwave-safe muffin pan, line each cup with 2 paper baking cups to absorb moisture during baking. Fill cups 1/2 full. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with cornflake crumbs. Microwave 6 muffins on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, rotating the pan 1/2 turn halfway through baking. Remove muffins from the pan and immediately discard the outer baking cups. Cool for 1 minute on a wire rack before serving. Repeat with remaining batter.

Ingredient Substitutions: If you do not have buttermilk, you can substitute regular milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar added to it. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.

Storage: These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
