CORNIEST CORN MUFFINS



Corniest Corn Muffins image

These muffins are flat, firm-topped and cheerfully yellow; with an old-fashioned texture - grainy with small holes running through the crumb - and a wholesome, straight-from the farm flavor - they're tangy from the buttermilk and sweet from both the cornmeal (try to find stone-ground) and the corn kernels.

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
6 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
1 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 tablespoons corn oil
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 cup corn kernels (add up to 1/3 cup more if you'd like) - fresh, frozen or canned (in which case, they should be drained and patted dry)

Steps:

  • Getting ready: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter or spray the 12 molds in a regular-size muffin tin or fit the molds with paper muffin cups. Alternatively, use a silicone muffin pan, which needs neither greasing nor paper cups. Place the muffin pan on a baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg, if you're using it. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, oil, egg and yolk together until well blended. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and, with the whisk or a rubber spatula, gently but quickly stir to blend. Don't worry about being thorough - the batter will be lumpy and that's just the way it should be. Stir in the corn kernels. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a thin knife inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool 5 minutes before carefully removing each muffin from its mold.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen corn. Fresh corn is best, but frozen corn works well too. If using frozen corn, thaw it before using.
  • Add sugar to the batter. This will help the muffins brown and give them a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups almost to the top. This will help the muffins rise high.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature. This will help them rise quickly and give them a crispy crust.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them hold their shape.
