Categories     Quick Breads

Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup cornmeal (preferably stone-ground)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 teaspoons sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
3/4 cup jalapeno jelly or 3/4 cup jalapeno jam

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Grease muffin tin.
  • Sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and cayenne in a bowl and set aside.
  • In another large bowl, beat together buttermilk, butter and sugar.
  • Mix in the eggs, then the corn, blending well after each addition.
  • Add the flour mixture, and stir to combine lightly.
  • Spoon half of the batter (it will be stiff) into the greased muffin tins, filling each cup just 1/3 full.
  • Drop about 1 teaspoon of jelly on top of the batter in each cup.
  • Top with the remaining batter, covering the jelly completely.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until they are a deep golden.
  • Serve warm with butter.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn: Fresh corn is always the best choice for muffins, but frozen corn can also be used in a pinch. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a muffin pan that is at least 2 inches deep: This will ensure that the muffins have enough room to rise.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will prevent the muffins from being underbaked or overbaked.
  • Let the muffins cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the muffins to set.

Conclusion:

Corn and jalapeño muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or weeknight dinners. With their sweet and savory flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
