Pat's Notes:

I can't remember where I got this recipe -in a box on the closet floor.
These are light and fluffy. The cornmeal just sets these little muffins up as great appetizers when baked in mini muffin tins or make in your regular muffin cups. The taste is delightful. Serve with honey-lemon butter or Ala- natural... Enjoy!

 

Directions

1
Heat oven to 375^. Spray muffin cup with non stick spray;set aside.
Crab Filling:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl; mixing to combine well. Set aside.
2
Cornmeal Muffins:
Combine flour, cornmeal, baking soda and salt in a large bowl; whisk to blend.
Whisk buttermilk,and eggs together. Pour buttermilk mixture, onions and melted butter into flour mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently FOLD liquid mixture into flour mixture until just blended..do not stir.
3
Fill prepared muffin tins 1/2 full with the batter, then place equal amounts of the crab filling into each cup. Cover filling with remaining muffin batter.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and muffins are golden. Let set in pan for 5 minutes then use a knife to aid removal from tins.Cool on wire rack. Serve with honey-lemon butter or nothing at all..Emjoy- delicious!

They weren't for me Pat. It was a new member and she now says she got her problem solved. Now her only problem is being obsessed with making them and buying all kinds of decoration stuff. LOL!!!! I told her to be sure and not buy stuff until she is definitely going to use it, so it will be fresh and not sitting on her shelf getting old and possibly never used at all.
