Corn Relish Muffins

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, pepper and sugar.

In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk and butter. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Stir in the relish.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

Serve hot or at room temperature.
