Stone Ground Cornmeal Muffins Recipes

BAKERY STYLE CORNBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Make sure your oven rack is in the center position.
• Prepare the jumbo muffin tin with 6 liners.
• Whisk together the flour, corn meal, baking powder, and salt.
• In a medium bow, add softened butter (which you can soften in the microwave about 10-15 seconds medium-power) and sugar. Add in the milk, oil, honey, and one egg at a time. Use a hand mixer, or wooden spoon to combine.
• Spoon the wet batter into the dry batter, and combine until light and fluffy. Using a large ice cream scoop, fill each muffin liner 3/4 way with batter.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin should come out clean.

CORNIEST CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Getting ready: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter or spray the 12 molds in a regular-size muffin tin or fit the molds with paper muffin cups. Alternatively, use a silicone muffin pan, which needs neither greasing nor paper cups. Place the muffin pan on a baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg, if you're using it. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, oil, egg and yolk together until well blended. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and, with the whisk or a rubber spatula, gently but quickly stir to blend. Don't worry about being thorough - the batter will be lumpy and that's just the way it should be. Stir in the corn kernels. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
• Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a thin knife inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool 5 minutes before carefully removing each muffin from its mold.
