Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray or neutral oil, for greasing the muffin cups
6 slices bacon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
6 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
1 cup grated Cheddar
1 jalapeno, seeded and very finely diced
1/2 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Liberally grease 12 muffin cups or mini cast-iron skillets with cooking spray or oil.
  • Put the bacon in a skillet over medium heat and cook until browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Set the bacon aside to cool on a paper towel-lined plate, then chop finely. Reserve the grease in the skillet for the glaze.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, oil, whole egg and egg yolk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the cheese, jalapeno and reserved bacon until just incorporated.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Bake until the edges are crispy and the tops are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • For the glaze: While the cornbread bakes, prepare the glaze. In the skillet that you cooked the bacon in, add the bourbon to the saved fat and bring to a boil (the bourbon may flame!). Add the honey and stir. Strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve and set aside.
  • When the cornbread is out of oven and still hot, brush the glaze on the tops of each muffin.

Yield Makes 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

150g (¾ cup) fresh corn kernels or thawed frozen corn kernels
3 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into ¼-inch pieces
150g (1 cup plus 3 Tbsp) all-purpose flour
115g (½ cup plus 1 Tbsp) granulated sugar
75g (½ cup) cornmeal
95g (¾ cup plus 2½ Tbsp) dried milk powder
12g (1 Tbsp) baking powder
5g (1 tsp) fine sea salt
2 eggs, whisked
90ml (¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp) canola oil
150ml (½ cup plus 2 Tbsp) water
60g (¾ cup) grated cheddar cheese, plus more for topping
1 jalapeño, seeded and diced (40g / ¼ cup)
5g (¼ bunch) chives, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place the corn on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes, until the kernels have toasty brown spots. Set aside to cool.
  • Line a plate with paper towels.
  • Cook the bacon in a frying pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fat has been rendered and the edges are golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the paper towels to drain. Set aside.
  • Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Put the flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, milk powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, oil, and water; mix until well incorporated.
  • Add the corn, cheese, jalapeño, and chives; mix gently just until incorporated.
  • Spoon a scant 75g (⅓ cup) of batter into each muffin cup. Sprinkle the tops with additional cheese and the bacon.
  • Bake the muffins until golden brown around the edges and a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes, rotating the pan after 10 minutes to ensure even baking. Remove the muffins from the pan and cool completely on a cooling rack. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day (or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days).

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups Bisquick
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 (4 ounce) package cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 lb bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled

Steps:

  • Line 12 medium 2-1/2x1-1/4 muffin cups with paper baking cups. Mix all ingredients, except cheese and bacon, just until moistened (batter will be lumpy). Fold in cheese and bacon. Divide batter among muffin cups. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes, in preheated 400* oven; cook 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Be sure to use full-fat sour cream or yogurt for a richer flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Grate the cheddar cheese yourself for a better melt.
  • Don't overmix the batter, or the muffins will be tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full, or the muffins will overflow.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving.
