PERFECT CORN MUFFIN MIX



Perfect Corn Muffin Mix image

Way back in 1996, when the Magnolia Bakery opened on Bleecker Street, before cupcake-mad crowds packed every inch of the place, it actually served breakfast. At tables. These muffins, no longer served at the bakery, are relics from that time, incomparable in flavor and butteriness. Most mixes include lard, which I don't mind in principle, but don't want to eat in its shelf-stable form.

CRUNCHY SWEET CORN MUFFINS



Crunchy Sweet Corn Muffins image

I like there to be a little crunch in my corn muffins. By using a small amount of polenta or coarse grind cornmeal added to the regular cornmeal you get out of a box of Albers, you achieve a crunch in the muffin, which I think is just perfect.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 15 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups cornmeal
1/2 cup dry polenta (coarse-grind cornmeal)

3 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/3 cup sour cream
1 egg, beaten
1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease 15 muffin or cupcake tins very well. If using the jumbo size tins, this makes 8. I use nonstick spray.

  • Mix in dry ingredients.
  • Ladle mixture into muffins tins. Fill about 2/3 full. You could probably try filling them higher to make a total of 12 muffins, but I like them smaller (lots of calories in these).
  • Bake until lightly browned on the edges, about 20-25 minutes in my oven.

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.

Magnolia Cafe Oatmeal Muffins image

your kids will never know they are eating their oatmeal...this is an old fashioned treat..I sometimes add raisins, dried cherries etc..it is a good recipe to alter the ingredients as you choose..I have a little trick..when I decide to use raisins..I beat eggs lightly..add desired amount of dried fruit and let them sit in egg mixture for a little while on counter..I find that this plumps up fruit very well..

  • Be sure to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding the wet ingredients. This will help to ensure that the muffins are evenly mixed and have a light and fluffy texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
