Savory Corn Muffins Recipes

SAVORY CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Put a 12-cup muffin tin (with standard-sized molds of 12-cup capacity) in oven to heat while preparing batter.
• Microwave creamed corn in a 1-quart Pyrex-type measuring cup to a full boil (or in a medium saucepan over medium heat). Stir in 1 cup of the cornmeal to make a very thick, pasty mush. If the mush is not stiff, microwave an additional 30 seconds or so. Whisk in buttermilk, then eggs and finally butter.
• Mix remaining cornmeal with flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and soda in a medium bowl. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined.
• Remove muffin tin from oven; coat with non-stick cooking spray. Divide batter evenly among cups (a spring-action ice cream scoop works well).
• Bake until golden brown on sides and bottom, about 15 minutes. Turn onto a wire rack; let cool 5 minutes. Serve.

• Whisk the buttermilk, egg, butter and oil together in a small bowl, then add the liquid to the dry ingredients. Mix until just incorporated.
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups (about 1 tablespoon per cup) and bake until puffed and golden and a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 11 minutes. Serve warm.
