Char scallions
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions and char, tossing occasionally until charred all over, about 4 minutes.
1
Make the butter
Add the butter, scallions and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until combined. Add to a small bowl until ready to serve.
2
Mix the dry ingredients
Heat oven to 400ºF (200ºC). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
3
Mix the wet ingredients
In another medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk and eggs.
4
Combine batter
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Gently stir in the cheese.
5
Add batter to muffin tins
Butter a large muffin tin then spoon ½ cup of the batter into each cup of the prepared muffin tin.
6
Bake muffins
Bake until the muffin tops are golden brown and cooked through so a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
7
Serve muffins
Let cool on a wire rack, then carefully remove from the muffin tins. Serve at room temperature or warm with scallion butter.
