Stone Ground Cornmeal Muffins Recipes

STONE-GROUND CORNMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°; grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
• In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, butter, and oil until well blended.
• Whisk in buttermilk until blended.
• Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just blended.
• Divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes or until tops are golden brown and a pick comes out clean.
• Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 3 minutes, then transfer to the rack to cool.

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.
