Notes

You can vary the amount of sugar in these corn muffins to fit your preference.  Some like sweet cornbread, so if you want yours less sweet, reduce the sugar.
Leftovers can be stored at room temperature wrapped in aluminum foil or in an air tight container. It will stay fresh for up to 1-2 days this way.
To store longer, place the leftover cornbread in the refrigerator and it will last 3-4 days. 
To freeze it, you wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and then place it in a resealable plastic bag. It will stay fresh for 2-3 months in the freezer.
