PERFECT CORN MUFFIN MIX
Way back in 1996, when the Magnolia Bakery opened on Bleecker Street, before cupcake-mad crowds packed every inch of the place, it actually served breakfast. At tables. These muffins, no longer served at the bakery, are relics from that time, incomparable in flavor and butteriness. Most mixes include lard, which I don't mind in principle, but don't want to eat in its shelf-stable form.

NO MUFFIN MIX SCALLOPED CORN
I wanted a scalloped corn recipe that didn't require any muffin mix ingredient, and I found this one. I haven't made it yet, but am planning to for Christmas dinner, and wanted to post it here to save it. I will rate it after I've made and tasted it. Also, you can substitute red bell pepper for the green, and you need to use soft bread crumbs. This sites computer wouldn't let me put "soft" in the ingredient list. The cooking time will vary, depending on the shape of the casserole dish you use. Update: You can't review your own recipe, but since I posted this I have made it, and it's yummy.
