PERFECT CORN MUFFIN MIX



Perfect Corn Muffin Mix image

Way back in 1996, when the Magnolia Bakery opened on Bleecker Street, before cupcake-mad crowds packed every inch of the place, it actually served breakfast. At tables. These muffins, no longer served at the bakery, are relics from that time, incomparable in flavor and butteriness. Most mixes include lard, which I don't mind in principle, but don't want to eat in its shelf-stable form.

1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

NO MUFFIN MIX SCALLOPED CORN



No Muffin Mix Scalloped Corn image

I wanted a scalloped corn recipe that didn't require any muffin mix ingredient, and I found this one. I haven't made it yet, but am planning to for Christmas dinner, and wanted to post it here to save it. I will rate it after I've made and tasted it. Also, you can substitute red bell pepper for the green, and you need to use soft bread crumbs. This sites computer wouldn't let me put "soft" in the ingredient list. The cooking time will vary, depending on the shape of the casserole dish you use. Update: You can't review your own recipe, but since I posted this I have made it, and it's yummy.

HOMEMADE JIFFY CORN MUFFIN MIX



Homemade Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix image

Makes 8.5 ounces (equal to 1-box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix), 1-1/2 cups of mix, or 6 corn muffins.

Provided by Susan Cutler

Categories     Other Breads

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2/3 c all-purpose flour
1/2 c yellow cornmeal
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
TO MAKE MUFFINS ADD
1 egg
1/3 c milk
OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS
1/2 c grated cheddar cheese (optional)
2 oz canned chillies (optional)
1/4 c drained chopped pimiento (optional)
1/2 c chopped onion (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. 1 Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl, mix well.
  • 2. 2 Whisk in vegetable oil and mix until dry mixture is smooth and lumps are gone.
  • 3. 3 If another recipe is calling for a box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, add the above mixed ingredients to that recipe.
  • 4. 4 To make Corn Muffins, preheat oven to 400F, spray muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • 5. 5 OPTIONAL: To mix, add any combination of optional ingredients you prefer.
  • 6. 6 Combine mix with egg and milk, mixing well.
  • 7. 7 Fill muffin pan 1/2 full, bake for 15-20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal: For a fine-textured corn muffin, use finely ground cornmeal. For a coarser texture, use medium-ground or coarse-ground cornmeal.
  • Use fresh or frozen corn kernels: For the best flavor, use fresh corn kernels. If you're using frozen corn kernels, thaw them before using. Blanching corn kernels before freezing will keep them sweet and bright.
  • Add a little sweetness: Corn muffins are traditionally sweet, but not too sweet. You can add sugar, honey, or maple syrup to taste.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough corn muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use hot butter: Hot butter will melt into the batter and create a tender crumb.
  • Bake the corn muffins at a high temperature: This will help them rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Let the corn muffins cool slightly before serving: This will allow them to firm up and make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Corn muffins are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They're also a great snack or breakfast food. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe that's sure to please everyone, give corn muffins a try!
