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.
