PERFECT CORN MUFFIN MIX



Perfect Corn Muffin Mix image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 12 standard-sized muffins

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 ounces yellow cornmeal (if you don't have a scale, you can measure 1 1/4 cups)
5 ounces all-purpose flour (1 1/4 cups)
3 ounces sugar ( 1/3 cup)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Store this mix in airtight plastic bags or containers.

PORK AND PINK BEAN SOUP WITH CORN MUFFIN CROUTONS RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Pork and Pink Bean Soup with Corn Muffin Croutons Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by PineyCook

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces thickly sliced bacon, cut into 1-inch strips
1/2 medium sweet onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 (15-ounce) cans pink beans with their liquid
3 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
Salt
Cayenne pepper
1 jumbo corn muffin (about 5 ounces), cut into 3/4-inch cubes
Chopped scallions, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°. In a medium saucepan, cook the bacon strips over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Transfer the crispy bacon to a plate and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the saucepan. Add the onion and garlic to the fat in the saucepan and cook, stirring, until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and maple syrup and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until thick, about 3 minutes. Add the pink beans and their liquid and cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bacon strips, season lightly with salt and cayenne pepper and simmer the soup over moderate heat until thickened slightly, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, spread the corn muffin cubes on a small baking sheet and bake for 7 to 8 minutes, until they are golden and crisp. Let the corn muffin croutons cool slightly. Ladle the soup into deep bowls, garnish with the corn muffin croutons and chopped scallions and serve.

RICH AND BUTTERY CORN MUFFINS



Rich and Buttery Corn Muffins image

Made with plenty of melted butter and sour cream, these golden, lightly sweet corn muffins are moist, rich and delicately crumbly. If you can find coarsely ground cornmeal (as opposed the fine stuff that's on most supermarket shelves), you'll also get deep corn flavor and a pleasantly grainy texture. Serve these warm from the oven, slathered with even more butter, or halved and toasted under the broiler to crisp the surface. They'll even keep for a few days if you store them in the fridge, and freeze perfectly for up to a month.

Categories     breakfast, breads, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup/255 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), melted and cooled, plus more for greasing the pan
2 cups/240 grams coarse or stone-ground cornmeal
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
2/3 cup/165 grams granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup/240 milliliters sour cream or whole-milk Greek yogurt
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk
2 large eggs, at room temperature
Demerara sugar, as needed
Softened butter, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees, and generously butter the cups and tops of a muffin tin. (The muffins will overflow, and those crisp edges are delicious.)
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, sour cream, milk and eggs. Fold butter mixture into dry ingredients, then scoop batter into muffin tin (it will be very full). Sprinkle each muffin top with Demerara sugar.
  • Bake until golden on the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from muffin tin and cool to room temperature. Serve with even more butter.

Tips:

  • Use day-old corn muffins: This will help the croutons stay crispy. If you don't have day-old corn muffins, you can bake fresh muffins and let them cool completely before cutting them into cubes.
  • Cut the corn muffins into small cubes: This will help them crisp up evenly. About 1-inch cubes are a good size.
  • Toss the corn muffin cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them brown and add flavor. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Spread the corn muffin cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet: This will help them crisp up evenly. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, or the croutons will steam instead of crisp.
  • Bake the corn muffin croutons at a high temperature: This will help them crisp up quickly. 400 degrees Fahrenheit is a good temperature.
  • Watch the corn muffin croutons carefully: They can burn quickly, so keep an eye on them and remove them from the oven as soon as they are golden brown.
  • Let the corn muffin croutons cool completely before using: This will help them crisp up even more.

Conclusion:

Corn muffin croutons are a delicious and easy way to add a crunchy topping to salads, soups, and casseroles. They are also a great way to use up leftover corn muffins. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can make your own delicious corn muffin croutons at home.
