FRESH RASPBERRY MINI CORN MUFFINS



Fresh Raspberry Mini Corn Muffins image

I can't write a cookbook about comfort food without including corn muffins; they're my guilty pleasure. Corn muffins can be dry and tasteless but allowing the batter to sit for 15 minutes gives the dry ingredients time to absorb the wet ones and results in moister muffins. This is a variation on my favorite Raspberry Corn Muffins from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook made with fresh raspberries instead of raspberry jam.

Time 50m

Yield 48 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

Baking spray with flour, such as Pam
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup fine cornmeal, such as Indian Head
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 cups whole milk
2 extra-large eggs
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
12 ounces firm fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, such as Sugar in the Raw

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Generously spray two mini muffin pans (24 mini muffins each) with the baking spray, including the tops of the pans.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together the milk, eggs, and butter. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, pour the wet ingredients into the well, and stir with a rubber spatula, just until combined. (Don't worry if it's a little lumpy.) Set the batter aside for 15 minutes.
  • When the batter has rested, fold the raspberries into the batter with the spatula. With a small (1 3/4-inch) ice cream scoop (you can also use a spoon), fill each muffin cup with a rounded scoop of batter, making sure each one contains some raspberries. Sprinkle the full 2 tablespoons of turbinado sugar on the muffins.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until the muffins spring back when gently touched and a cake tester comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Make ahead: Prepare the batter completely, cover, and refrigerate. Scoop and bake the next day.

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.

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:

  • Be sure to use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor. Frozen or canned corn will not work as well.
  • 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.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These corn muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist and flavorful, with a slightly sweet and savory taste. The muffins are also very versatile and can be served with a variety of different dishes. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast, a hearty snack, or a side dish for your next meal, these corn muffins are sure to please everyone at the table.
