Savory Corn Muffins image

This recipe yields a bread that's moist and savory and tastes distinctly of corn. Unlike many corn muffins, these stay moist, thanks to canned creamed corn.

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Muffin Recipes     Savory Muffin Recipes

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (14.75 ounce) can creamed corn
2 cups yellow cornmeal, divided
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
8 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Put a 12-cup muffin tin (with standard-sized molds of 12-cup capacity) in oven to heat while preparing batter.
  • Microwave creamed corn in a 1-quart Pyrex-type measuring cup to a full boil (or in a medium saucepan over medium heat). Stir in 1 cup of the cornmeal to make a very thick, pasty mush. If the mush is not stiff, microwave an additional 30 seconds or so. Whisk in buttermilk, then eggs and finally butter.
  • Mix remaining cornmeal with flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and soda in a medium bowl. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined.
  • Remove muffin tin from oven; coat with non-stick cooking spray. Divide batter evenly among cups (a spring-action ice cream scoop works well).
  • Bake until golden brown on sides and bottom, about 15 minutes. Turn onto a wire rack; let cool 5 minutes. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fennel: Fresh fennel bulbs will give your muffins the best flavor. Look for bulbs that are firm and have a bright green color.
  • Chop the fennel finely: Finely chopping the fennel will help it distribute evenly throughout the muffins and prevent it from overpowering the other flavors.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature: Fennel corn muffins are best served warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Fennel corn muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
