These company spoonbread muffins are so moist and good.

Time 20m

Yield 8 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Combine first 3 ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
  • Add mayonnaise and milk, stirring with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Spoon into lightly greased muffin pans, filling three-fourths full.
  • Bake at 450* for 10 to 12 minutes, or till golden brown.
  • Serve warm with butter.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your spoon bread muffins a more complex flavor. Some good options include cheddar, Parmesan, mozzarella, and Gruyère.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your muffins tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the muffins warm. They're best when they're fresh out of the oven.
