BUTTERMILK CORNMEAL MUFFINS



Buttermilk Cornmeal Muffins image

These muffins seem to be a little moister than most cornmeal muffins. I think soaking the cornmeal in the buttermilk is what makes a difference. I always use finely ground cornmeal, but you can use the regular cornmeal if you like the grittier texture it provides. I always use butter, not margarine, a personal preference. I never use Splenda, but imagine it would work for those with dietary restrictions. I will sometimes add some toasted wheat germ, no more than about 1/4 cup in this recipe, just to give it a bit of a nutritional boost. As with most cornmeal muffins, these are best served the day they are baked. I don't know how well they freeze, the kids eat them up too quickly. I can't remember where I found the recipe, but thought I would post it here for safe keeping. Update to this recipe. I have added honey on to the ingredient list. I usually use honey instead of sugar when I make these. It adds a bit of flavour as well as making them moister.

CORNMEAL-MOLASSES MUFFINS



Cornmeal-Molasses Muffins image

These muffins are a nod to two traditional New England specialties, Anadama bread and Indian pudding, both of which are primarily made with cornmeal and molasses.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 regular muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

Vegetable oil or pan spray, for greasing
1 cup stone-ground cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
1/2 cup smooth applesauce
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
2 large eggs
1 stick unsalted butter, melted (8 tablespoons)
1/4 to 1/3 cup toasted oats for sprinkling, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut parchment paper into twelve 5-by-5-inch squares. Lightly grease the inside of a 12-cup muffin tin. Center a square of parchment paper over 1 of the cups and use your fingers to press the parchment into the cup, so that it sticks to the sides and bottom. Crease the paper as needed to fit and repeat with the remaining parchment (regular muffin liners work just as well but the parchment looks pretty).
  • Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together the yogurt, applesauce, molasses, orange zest, eggs and butter in a separate small bowl.
  • Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined (don't fret if the batter is lumpy, this means your batter isn't over-mixed).
  • Fill each liner almost to the top of the tin (an ice-cream scoop lightly greased with nonstick spray will help). Sprinkle each muffin with the toasted oats.
  • Bake, rotating about halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean and the tops are just slightly puffed and spring back when touched, 20 to 24 minutes. Let rest in the hot muffin pan 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and let cool 30 minutes. Store the cooled muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal has a better flavor and texture than old cornmeal.
  • Grind your own cornmeal. If you have a grain mill, you can grind your own cornmeal from dried corn kernels. This will give you the freshest and most flavorful cornmeal possible.
  • Use buttermilk. Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor to cornmeal muffins and helps to make them moist.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough.
  • Bake the muffins in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the muffins to rise and brown properly.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving. This will help the muffins to set and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal muffins are a delicious and versatile breakfast food. They can be served plain, with butter and honey, or with your favorite fruit or jam. They can also be used to make sandwiches or croutons. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect cornmeal muffins every time.
