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.

  • Spoon a scant 75g (⅓ cup) of batter into each muffin cup. Sprinkle the tops with additional cheese and the bacon.
