CHEESY CORNBREAD MUFFINS WITH HOT HONEY BUTTER



Cheesy Cornbread Muffins With Hot Honey Butter image

Smoky chipotle takes these muffins into savory territory, but this recipe can be used purely as a blueprint: Want them a bit sweeter? Lose the minced chipotle chiles, and increase the sugar by a couple of tablespoons. Need them to hold up to a heavily spiced pot of chili? Double the chipotles en adobo, add 1/4 cup minced red onion and a dash of ground cumin, onion powder or garlic, perhaps. Whatever you add, don't overmix: Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined (a few lumps are O.K.) before folding in the cheese for muffins that are rich but not dense.

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons chipotle en adobo sauce
Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
1 1/4 cups/195 grams medium cornmeal
1 cup/130 grams all-purpose flour
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick)
2/3 cup/160 milliliters whole milk
1/2 cup/120 milliliters sour cream
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons minced chiles en adobo (optional)
1 cup/115 grams grated sharp white Cheddar (about 3 ounces)
3 tablespoons very thinly sliced scallions or chives
Sliced jalapeño, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the hot honey butter: In a small bowl, stir 1/2 cup/1 stick softened butter with the honey and chipotle en adobo sauce. Refrigerate while muffins bake.
  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees, and generously grease the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pepper and salt.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 1/2 cup/1 stick softened butter over low heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, eggs, melted butter and the minced chipotle chiles, if using.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir using a rubber spatula until almost combined but still a little lumpy. Fold in the Cheddar and scallions, and stir until just combined.
  • Transfer the muffin batter in 1/4-cup portions to the prepared muffin tin. Top each muffin with a jalapeño slice, if desired, and bake until the tops are golden and the muffins are cooked through, about 18 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the muffin tins before carefully transferring to a wire rack, running a knife around the rims to release the muffins, if necessary. Serve warm or at room temperature, with honey butter.

CORN MUFFINS WITH HONEY BUTTER



Corn Muffins with Honey Butter image

There's an interesting country story behind this recipe. I've worked at our local Farm Bureau office for 15 years. A friend on our women's committee developed it to give people new ideas for using farm commodities. I especially like preparing these muffins for my family on a winter night-along with a big pot of chili, they make for a very hearty meal! My husband and I have a farrow-to-finish hog operation here on the farm where he was born. We also grow several crops. One son farms with us, we have a grown daughter and our other son just graduated from high school.
