Blueberry Corn Muffins Ala Lee Recipes

BLUEBERRY CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the flour, the cornmeal, the baking powder, and the salt. In a small bowl whisk together the butter, the egg, the honey, the sugar, and the milk, stir the butter mixture into the flour mixture, stirring until the batter is just combined, and fold in the blueberries. Divide the batter among 12 buttered 1/2-cup muffin tins, bake the muffins in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden and a tester comes out clean, and turn them out onto a rack.

JAY'S BLUEBERRY CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
• Mix cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in buttermilk, butter, and egg. Fold blueberries into the batter.
• Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tin.

BLUEBERRY CORN MUFFINS WITH VANILLA BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the muffins: Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, milk, baking soda, egg and vanilla. Slowly incorporate the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Add the melted shortening, stirring constantly. Stir in the dried blueberries (you can use a little more or a little fewer if you'd like).
• Pour into a greased mini-muffin pan, trying to make sure the blueberries stay evenly distributed. Bake until golden brown, 10 minutes or so.
• For the vanilla butter: Combine the softened butter, sugar and the caviar from the vanilla bean. Stir until totally combined, and then spread into a ramekin and serve with the warm muffins. (Butter can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge.)

BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
• In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla to blend. Combine 1 1/3 cups of the flour, the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a processor, about 30 seconds. Drop in the cold butter cubes. Using on/off turns, blend until the butter is cut in finely and the mixture resembles a coarse meal, stopping occasionally to check the size of the butter pieces, (they should be the size of rice kernels). Pour the dry ingredients over the buttermilk mixture. Using a thin, flexible spatula and a few quick strokes, fold the batter together, turning the bowl as you fold.
• In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon flour and the frozen blueberries. Toss to coat the berries. Scatter the berries over the batter and fold in.
• Using a rounded 1/3 cup of batter for each muffin, fill the paper liners, mounding the batter in the center. Use a knife tip or spoon to reposition at least 1 berry so it is showing on top.
• Bake the muffins until puffed and browning at edges, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the muffins stand 5 to 10 minutes. Twist each muffin in place to loosen the edges from the pan. Lift the muffins out onto a rack and cool.

BLUEBERRY CORNMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
• Sift flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, salt and baking powder together into a large bowl. Dredge the blueberries in the sifted ingredients. In a small bowl, combine the milk, butter and egg. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Let muffins sit for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

BLUEBERRY LEMON CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. and line six 1/3-cup muffin cups with paper liners.
• Melt butter and cool. Into a large bowl sift together flour and baking powder and whisk in cornmeal, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon zest, and a generous pinch salt. In a bowl whisk together melted butter, milk, and yolks and add to flour mixture with half of blueberries, gently stirring until just combined.
• Divide batter evenly among cups (batter will fill cups) and press remaining blueberries into tops of muffins. Sprinkle tops of muffins evenly with remaining tablespoon sugar. Bake muffins in middle of oven about 15 minutes, or until tops are golden and a tester comes out clean. Remove muffins from cups and cool on a rack. Muffins keep in an airtight container at room temperature 2 days.

• Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
