Categories     Breads

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
1 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 tablespoons corn oil
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 cup corn kernel (add up to 1/3 cup more if you'd like)

Steps:

  • Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter or spray the 12 molds in a regular-size muffin pan or fit the molds with paper muffin cups. Alternatively, use a silicone muffin pan, which needs neither greasing nor paper cups. Place the muffin pan on a baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg, if you're using it. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, oil, egg and yolk together until well blended. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and, with the whisk or a rubber spatula, gently but quickly stir to blend. Don't worry about being thorough - the batter will be lumpy, and that's just the way it should be. Stir in the corn kernels. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes (12 minutes for minis), or until the tops are golden and a thin knife inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing each muffin from its mold.

Categories     Side Dish     Bread     Muffins

Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
6 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
1 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 tablespoons corn oil
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 cup corn kernels (add up to 1/3 cup more if you'd like), fresh, frozen or canned (in which case they should be drained and patted dry)

Steps:

  • Getting ready: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter or spray the 12 muffin molds in a regular-size muffin tin, or fit the molds with paper muffin cups.
  • Working in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In a large glass measuring cup with a spout or in another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, oil, egg and yolk. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and, with the whisk or a rubber spatula, gently but quickly stir to blend. Don't worry about being thorough - the batter will be lumpy and that's just the way it should be. Stir in the corn kernels. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin molds.
  • Slide the pan into the oven and bake 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a knife inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Pull the pan from the oven and carefully lift each muffin out of its mold and onto a rack to cool.
  • Serving: The muffins are great warm or at room temperature and particularly great split, toasted and slathered with butter or jam or both (if they're not in breadbasket at dinner, that is).
  • Storing: Like all muffins, these are best eaten the day they are made. If you want to keep them, it's best to wrap them airtight and pop them into the freezer, where they'll keep for about a month; re-warm in a 300°F oven, if you'd like, or split them and toast them-do that and they'll be that much more delicious with butter.

CORNIEST CORN MUFFINS



Corniest Corn Muffins image

These muffins are flat, firm-topped and cheerfully yellow; with an old-fashioned texture - grainy with small holes running through the crumb - and a wholesome, straight-from the farm flavor - they're tangy from the buttermilk and sweet from both the cornmeal (try to find stone-ground) and the corn kernels.

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

2 large eggs, at room temperature
Demerara sugar, as needed
Softened butter, for serving

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Ensure your cornmeal is fresh and finely ground for a smooth texture and optimal flavor in your muffins.
  • Buttermilk adds a slight tang and helps to tenderize the muffins, resulting in a moist and fluffy crumb. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute regular milk with a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar stirred in and allowed to sit for a few minutes before using.
  • Melted butter adds richness and moisture to the muffins, contributing to their tender and flavorful texture.
  • Sugar provides sweetness and helps to balance the tanginess of the buttermilk. You can adjust the amount of sugar based on your personal preference or desired sweetness level.
  • Eggs act as a binder, helping to hold the ingredients together and provide structure to the muffins.
  • Baking powder and baking soda are the leavening agents that help the muffins rise and achieve a light and fluffy texture.
  • Salt enhances the overall flavor of the muffins and balances the sweetness.
  • Fresh or frozen corn kernels add a sweet, crunchy texture and boost the corn flavor in the muffins. If using frozen corn, thaw it before incorporating it into the batter.
  • Chopped green onions add a savory, aromatic flavor and a pop of color to the muffins. You can also use other herbs, such as cilantro or chives, if desired.
  • Grated cheddar cheese adds a cheesy flavor and richness to the muffins. You can use a mild or sharp cheddar cheese, depending on your preference.
