- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, divided
- 4 teaspoons fresh chopped herbs (such as rosemary, sage and/or thyme)

Method
Preheat the oven to 400F.
Butter a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, 1/2 cup of the cheese, herbs, baking powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs and cooled melted butter.
