BACON AND SCALLION CORN MUFFINS



Bacon and Scallion Corn Muffins image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon hot sauce
8 ounces (about 8 slices) applewood-smoked bacon, cut into 1/3-inch pieces
1 1/3 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/3 cups yellow cornmeal (about 7 ounces)
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (6 to 6 1/2 ounces)
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 sticks chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
5 large scallions (green onions), chopped

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 nonstick skillet, cook the bacon, over medium heat until crisp and brown. Transfer the bacon to paper towels; drain and cool.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce and eggs. Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper in a food processor. 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. Pour the dry ingredients over the buttermilk mixture. Scatter the bacon and green onions over the batter. Using a thin, flexible spatula, fold the batter together, scraping up the liquids from the bottom each time and turning the bowl as you fold. Do not over-fold; some dry patches are fine. Using a rounded 1/3 cup of batter for each muffin, fill the paper liners.
  • Bake until puffed and browning at edges, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 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.

Tips:

  • For perfectly tender and moist muffins, ensure the buttermilk is at room temperature. This allows the baking soda to react fully, resulting in a fluffy texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins. Mix until the ingredients are just combined, taking care not to overwork the gluten.
  • For a crispy bacon topping, cook the bacon until it's nicely browned and crumbly. Drain it on paper towels to remove excess grease.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • For a cheesy variation, add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the batter before baking.
