SPICY CHEESY CORN MUFFINS



Spicy Cheesy Corn Muffins image

This is a very easy way to make spicy and cheesy corn muffins that would be great served on their own (as a snack) or with soup. The best thing is that the ingredients are very cheap!! I came up with this while playing around with Jiffy corn muffin mix which costs $0.45 at my grocery store. Sriracha is a chili sauce that you can get at Wal-Mart for a couple of bucks. It's very spicy and will last you a very long time.

Yield Makes 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup grated extra-sharp Cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 tablespoons minced seeded pickled jalapeño chilies (wear rubber gloves)
a 7-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained, rinsed, patted very dry between paper towels, and chopped fine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. and butter twelve 1/3-cup muffin tins.
  • In a bowl whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and Cheddar. In a small bowl whisk together buttermilk, egg, butter, and chilies. Add buttermilk mixture to cornmeal mixture, stirring until just combined, and stir in roasted peppers (do not overmix).
  • Divide batter evenly among muffin tins and bake in middle of oven 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden and a tester comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn. Fresh corn has a sweeter, more flavorful taste than frozen or canned corn. If you can't find fresh corn, frozen corn is a good substitute.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 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 for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to set and make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Spiced corn muffins are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are also a great snack or grab-and-go breakfast. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these muffins at home in no time. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy recipe, give spiced corn muffins a try.
