Tips:

  • To achieve the best results, make sure to use fresh corn kernels. Frozen or canned corn will not yield the same texture or flavor.
  • For a spicier filling, increase the amount of jalapeño pepper used. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be sure not to overmix the muffin batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • To prevent the muffins from sticking to the muffin tins, grease the tins with cooking spray or line them with paper liners.
