Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3/4 cup | All-purpose flour |
| 2 1/2 tsp | Baking powder |
| 3/4 tsp | Salt |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| 1/2 cup | Yellow cornmeal |
| 1 cup | Shredded cheddar cheese |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1 cup | Buttermilk |
| 3 tbsp | Butter, melted |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your muffin tin by greasing it lightly or lining it with paper liners.
-
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir until well combined.
-
Add Cornmeal and Cheese: Mix in the yellow cornmeal and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
-
Create Well: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients mixture.
-
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the beaten egg, buttermilk, and melted butter into the well you created in the dry ingredients.
-
Mix Gently: Stir the ingredients together just until the dry ingredients are moistened and everything is well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Fill the greased 2-inch muffin cups approximately two-thirds full with the batter. You can use an ice cream scoop or a spoon for this step.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are nicely browned on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding crumbled bacon to the batter before baking. It adds a delicious savory element to the muffins.
- These Cheesy Corn Muffins are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are made, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Alternatively, you can freeze them for longer storage.
- Experiment with different types of cheese to vary the flavor profile of these muffins. Sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or even a blend of cheeses can work well.
- Serve these muffins alongside soups, salads, or as a tasty snack on their own. They’re versatile and sure to be a hit at any gathering!
