Yield Makes 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

For muffins:
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus 1 tablespoon, softened, for brushing muffin cups
2 cups cornmeal (preferably stone-ground)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup corn, thawed if frozen
1 1/4 cups well-shaken buttermilk (not powdered)
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups grated sharp Cheddar (5 1/4 ounces), divided
For jalapeño butter:
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 fresh jalapeño, finely chopped, including seeds
Equipment: a muffin pan with 12 (1/2-cup) muffin cups

Steps:

Make corn muffins:
Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle. Brush muffin cups with softened butter.
Whisk together cornmeal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl.
Whisk together corn, buttermilk, egg, and melted butter in another bowl, then stir into flour mixture until just combined. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese.
Divide batter among muffin cups and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake until puffed and golden-brown and a wooden pick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Turn out onto a rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Make jalapeño butter while muffins bake:
Stir together butter, jalapeño, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve with muffins.

Tips:

Choose the right cornmeal. For best results, use a medium-grind cornmeal. This will give your muffins a tender texture with a slight crunch.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Don't skimp on the cheese. The cheese is what makes these muffins so flavorful. Use a good-quality cheddar cheese that you love.
Add some spice. If you like things spicy, add a chopped jalapeño pepper to the batter. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Bake the muffins until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These jalapeño cheddar corn muffins are the perfect addition to any meal. They are easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give these muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
