If this is the recipe I used about 30 years ago, and I think it IS...WOW. I just mentioned that I might dig this one up to make while we're staying at home for a bit..and I got a big response from those who remember these treats from long ago. The ingredients seem right...so I shall venture forth and see how it goes! Will report back soon....

I made these yesterday. Something's wrong here. (It couldn't be me, right? Well...) The batter was way too thin. I used a ladle to load my muffin pan (large, double-size muffins.) Isn't 1/2 cup of oil is far too much? The muffins were too greasy. And maybe I should have added more flour (to have a 50/50, not a 66/33 split between cornmeal and flour.) Finally, I probably erred dumping 1 cup of Delmonte Creamed Corn into the mix. Should I have strained it to cut fluid volume? Any other ideas???

I think where you went wrong was on step 3. It says to only add enough oil, buttermilk, and eggs to your dry mixture to get it moist. It sounds like you probably used the whole thing, whereas this recipe has you over prepare the amount of liquid mixture you need. Thanks for calling that out though because I'm going to make this recipe and I likely would have made the same error.
