KICKS LIKE A MULE - MEXICAN JALAPENO AND CORNBREAD MUFFINS!



Kicks Like a Mule - Mexican Jalapeno and Cornbread Muffins! image

These lovely little cornmeal muffins have quite a kick to them, it's the jalapeno peppers! A very simple and easy recipe that goes so well with chili, stews, soups, chilli con carne or when served as an appetiser snack - split them in two and spread with savoury butters or serve with dips. I made these up as an experiment, and they turned out so well, that I am on my third batch already!

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 30m

Yield 12 Cornmeal Muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup plain white flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 cup yoghurt or 1 cup buttermilk
4 ounces butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup jalapeno pepper, drained and chopped

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 200C/400F and grease a 12 hole muffin tin.
  • Mix all the dry ingredients together and then add the yoghurt or buttermilk, melted butter and the egg. Mix until all the ingredients are combined - do NOT overmix!
  • Add the jalapeno peppers and mix gently again.
  • Spoon into pre-greased muffin tin and then bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until well risen and pale golden brown.
  • Serve with chili, chilli con carne, stews, soups or split and spread with savoury butter or dips.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best for this recipe, but frozen corn can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Drain the corn well: After cooking the corn, be sure to drain it well to remove excess moisture. This will help the muffins to be light and fluffy.
  • Use a good quality muffin tin: A good quality muffin tin will help the muffins to bake evenly and prevent them from sticking. If you don't have a muffin tin, you can also use a cupcake tin.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the muffins are done baking.

Conclusion:

These Mexican corn muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover corn. With their sweet and savory flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
