FRESH RASPBERRY MINI CORN MUFFINS



Fresh Raspberry Mini Corn Muffins image

I can't write a cookbook about comfort food without including corn muffins; they're my guilty pleasure. Corn muffins can be dry and tasteless but allowing the batter to sit for 15 minutes gives the dry ingredients time to absorb the wet ones and results in moister muffins. This is a variation on my favorite Raspberry Corn Muffins from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook made with fresh raspberries instead of raspberry jam.

Provided by Ina Garten Bio & Top Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 48 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

Baking spray with flour, such as Pam
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup fine cornmeal, such as Indian Head
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 cups whole milk
2 extra-large eggs
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
12 ounces firm fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, such as Sugar in the Raw

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Generously spray two mini muffin pans (24 mini muffins each) with the baking spray, including the tops of the pans.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together the milk, eggs, and butter. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, pour the wet ingredients into the well, and stir with a rubber spatula, just until combined. (Don't worry if it's a little lumpy.) Set the batter aside for 15 minutes.
  • When the batter has rested, fold the raspberries into the batter with the spatula. With a small (1 3/4-inch) ice cream scoop (you can also use a spoon), fill each muffin cup with a rounded scoop of batter, making sure each one contains some raspberries. Sprinkle the full 2 tablespoons of turbinado sugar on the muffins.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until the muffins spring back when gently touched and a cake tester comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Make ahead: Prepare the batter completely, cover, and refrigerate. Scoop and bake the next day.

Categories     Breads

Time 1h

Yield 1 pan

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups plain flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups milk
3 extra large eggs, Lightly Beaten
1/2 lb unsalted butter, Melted (Plus Extra To Grease The Pan)
8 ounces aged extra-sharp cheddar cheese, Grated, Divided
1/3 cup scallion, Chopped (White And Green Parts, Plus Extra For Garnish, 3 Scallions)
3 tablespoons fresh jalapenos, Seeded And Minced

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and butter.
  • With a wooden spoon, stir the wet ingredients into the dry until most of the lumps are dissolved. Don't overmix!
  • Mix in 2 cups of the grated Cheddar, the scallions and jalapenos, and allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking pan.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle with the remaining grated Cheddar and extra chopped scallions.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool and cut into large squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh corn kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • To make sure the muffins are moist, don't overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To add a little extra sweetness to the muffins, you can add 1/2 cup of sugar to the batter.
  • If you want a crispy crust on the muffins, brush the tops with melted butter before baking.
  • The muffins are best served warm, but they can also be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These corn muffins are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They're also great for breakfast or as a snack. With their moist texture and sweet corn flavor, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
