Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons solid white shortening
9 tablespoons butter plus butter for greasing muffin tins
1/4 cup seeded, finely chopped red pepper
1/4 cup seeded, finely chopped green pepper
4 teaspoons seeded, finely chopped jalapeno or serrano peppers
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup buttermilk
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup flour
1 1/4 cups blue cornmeal (yellow cornmeal may be substituted), (see note)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt, if desired
1 tablespoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Heat the shortening in a skillet and when it is melted pour it into a small bowl.
  • Heat the butter in the skillet and pour six tablespoons of it into the bowl with the shortening. Let the mixture stand until cool.
  • To the three tablespoons of butter remaining in the skillet add the red pepper, green pepper, jalapeno or serrano peppers and garlic. Cook, stirring, about two minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl and add the cooled shortening and butter mixture. Beat well.
  • Put the buttermilk in a cup and add the baking soda. Stir this into the egg mixture.
  • Sift together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt and baking powder into a mixing bowl.
  • Pour the shortening mixture into the cornmeal and stir. Add the pepper mixture and blend thoroughly.
  • Lightly butter the inside of a 12-cup muffin tin. Spoon batter into each cup until about two-thirds full.
  • Place the tin in the oven and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins are nicely browned.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy these muffins were to make. I didn't have any blue cornmeal on hand, so I used regular cornmeal instead. They still turned out great!
