Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (14.75 ounce) can creamed corn
2 cups yellow cornmeal, divided
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
8 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Put a 12-cup muffin tin (with standard-sized molds of 12-cup capacity) in oven to heat while preparing batter.
  • Microwave creamed corn in a 1-quart Pyrex-type measuring cup to a full boil (or in a medium saucepan over medium heat). Stir in 1 cup of the cornmeal to make a very thick, pasty mush. If the mush is not stiff, microwave an additional 30 seconds or so. Whisk in buttermilk, then eggs and finally butter.
  • Mix remaining cornmeal with flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and soda in a medium bowl. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined.
  • Remove muffin tin from oven; coat with non-stick cooking spray. Divide batter evenly among cups (a spring-action ice cream scoop works well).
  • Bake until golden brown on sides and bottom, about 15 minutes. Turn onto a wire rack; let cool 5 minutes. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels. Fresh corn kernels will give your muffins the best flavor. If you don't have fresh corn kernels, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels. Just be sure to thaw frozen corn kernels before using them.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature. This will help them to rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
