EDNA LEWIS'S CORN MUFFINS



Edna Lewis's Corn Muffins image

After reading that Edna Lewis preferred extra-fine cornmeal, I adapted her recipe to use corn flour. (Be sure to get corn flour, not pure white cornstarch.) These muffins have great corn flavor, and they have a very tender, creamy texture when hot and stay moist when cool. If you're using regular cornmeal, the muffins are still delicious, especially warm; just reduce the buttermilk to 2 cups.

Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons lard or butter, plus 2 tablespoons melted butter
2 1/2 cups corn flour or extra-fine cornmeal (not cornstarch)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon homemade baking powder (see note)
2 1/2 cups buttermilk, room temperature
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400. Generously grease the wells of the muffin pan with 2 tablespoons of lard or butter, leaving the extra fat in the wells. In a mixing bowl, sift together the corn flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
  • When the oven is hot, place the muffin tin inside to preheat. Meanwhile, stir the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and mix well, then stir in the egg and 2 tablespoons melted butter. When the muffin pan is very hot (if using butter to grease, the butter should have just stopped sizzling), carefully remove it, and quickly fill each well with about 3 ounces of batter. Bake for 17-20 minutes, rotating once, until a toothpick comes out clean and the edges of the muffins are golden brown.
  • Let the pan cool for 2 minutes on a rack, then remove the muffins. (If necessary, use a paring knife to release them.) Serve muffins hot, with butter.

Tips:

  • Soften Butter and Cream Cheese: Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature before creaming them together. This will help create a smooth and fluffy batter.
  • Measure Ingredients Accurately: Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure the correct proportions of ingredients. Accurate measurements will result in consistent and delicious muffins.
  • Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients Separately: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This will help prevent over-mixing the batter and ensure the muffins are light and airy.
  • Do Not Over-mix: Over-mixing the batter can result in tough and dense muffins. Mix the batter until just combined.
  • Fill Muffin Tins Properly: Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
  • Bake at the Correct Temperature: Bake the muffins at the specified temperature in the recipe to ensure they are cooked thoroughly and evenly.
  • Cool Muffins Completely: Allow the muffins to cool completely before storing or serving. This will help them maintain their shape and texture.
