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 for Making Savory Fall Corn Muffins:

- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined. - Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly. - Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them to rise and brown evenly. - Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Savory fall corn muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They're perfect for using up leftover corn, and they're also a great way to enjoy the flavors of fall. With their sweet and savory flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or side dish, give these savory fall corn muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
