Pioneer Woman Corn Muffin Recipes

CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and eggs. With the mixer on the lowest speed, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir until they are just blended. Spoon the batter into the paper liners, filling each one to the top. Bake for 30 minutes, until the tops are crisp and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly and remove from the pan.

JIFFY MINI CORN DOG MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, egg, melted butter, and milk. Mix just until it comes together. (If you mix too much, the corn muffins will start to fall apart around the hot dogs when cooked.)
• Once mixed together, pour into two greased 12 mini muffin tins (this recipe makes 24 mini muffins).
• Place each hot dog piece into the center of the corn muffin mixture and press down slightly.
• Bake at 400°F for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve hot with ketchup and mustard.

BLUEBERRY CORNBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Line a muffin pan with paper liners (don't skip the liners or the blueberries will stick to the pan).
• Combine the milk and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Place the blueberries in a small bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of the flour mixture. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk/lemon mixture, vanilla and lemon zest. Add to the dry ingredients, along with the melted butter. Stir until just blended; and then stir in the blueberries. Do not overmix.
• Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup very full. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are set and golden around the edges. Cool the muffins for a few minutes in the pan, then serve warm with butter or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Notes:Be sure to zest the lemon before juicing it. Don't be tempted to increase the blueberries: one cup is just the right amount -- if you jam-pack the muffins with berries, they'll be too tart and wet.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The muffins can be frozen in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. Thaw for 3 - 4 hours on the countertop before serving. To reheat, wrap individual muffins in aluminum foil and place in a preheated 350°F oven until warm.

• Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.

PERFECT CORN MUFFIN MIX

Steps:

• Store this mix in airtight plastic bags or containers. When you want to bake muffins, combine the mix in a bowl with 2 beaten eggs; 1 1/2 cups milk (not skim) and 1 1/2 sticks butter (6 ounces), melted. Halfway fill the cups of a buttered (or nonstick) muffin tin and bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes.
