Dr. Oetker Organic Muffin Mix Cornmeal

Dr. Oetker, a German-based manufacturer of frozen pizzas, baking mixes, dessert mixes and more, offers a USDA certified Organics line, including this cornmeal muffin mix in a 16.9 oz box.

Preparation is easy: just add 1 cp water, 1 egg, 2 tbsp of oil. I followed the directions to the T and used a 12-cup muffin pan as suggested on the box. Instead of using liners, I greased the pan with butter.

The resulting muffins were OK. Tender, with a nice crumb and a satisfying grittiness that is the hallmark of cornbread. Still, I thought it was a tad dry and kind of blah tasting. I'll continue searching for a better cornbread mix.
