1 1/2 cups medium grind cornmeal
1/2 cup (about 2 1/2 ounces) all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons low sodium Old Bay seasoning (see note)
1/2 teaspoon chile powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for greasing tin
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Grease muffin tin with butter.
In a medium bowl, stir together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, Old Bay, chile powder, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg. Add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Stir in butter, followed by cheese.
Pour batter 3/4 way into prepared tin. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm.
