Corn Muffins by DK on Mar 10, 2009
Muffins are such a dear, to eat, to make, in short to fill us up quicker and faster.I esp. luv savory muffins. Any variation that you can think of, you can turn it into a muffin. I usually make muffins, little festive than the usual fat free, calorie free(!!), taste free(!!) when I go for those light lunches and dinners.This corn muffin would be perfect for those moments.I always have frozen corn and cheddar lying around in my fridge. The last time when I cleaned out my fridge to get new stuff, I saw wee bit of corn and small slab of cheddar lying around and thought of making these corn muffins. They are yummy and filling and this recipe comes from my neighbor which I tweaked a bit to suit my pantry.
- Cook time:
- Prep time:
- Yields: Makes around 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups self raising flour
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1-1/4 cup milk
- 2 egg whites (optional, just replace it with 1/4 cups of milk)
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1-1/2 cup frozen corn(microwave for 2 minutes)
- 1/4 cup grated cheddar
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp salt (I prefer with lesser salt, hence used 1/2 tsp)
- pepper to taste
Method
1.
Sift the flour and cornmeal together in a large bowl
2.
In a separate bowl, add milk,corn,eggs,butter,onions,salt,pepper and cheddar together. Whisk until blended.
3.
Add this to the dry ingredients and fold
4.
until mixed well.
5.
Drop spoonful of this micture into greased muffin cups.
6.
Bake these in a preheated 415F oven for 20-25 min until golden.
7.
Let them cool for 5 minutes before you remove them from muffin pan

If not using egg whites, would it be prudent to add some BP?

Hellos,
I have been following your site since sometimes last year! Love all your recipes, have also tried quite a few. Must say, you make cooking very simple for us novices :)
I was wondering if I can use all purpose flour instead of self-raising flour? If so, what are the proportions? I usually have Trader Joe's Pancake/Baking mix lying around in my house. Can I use that?

Awesome recipe ! I'm loving it :)

hey there, was wondering if these muffins could be made without the cheese. will the taste alter?
Yes it would , slightly. The cheese melts in while baking giving it moistness and of course that taste. You can of course skip it to suit ur needs

we screwed this up somehow - probably because we didnt have all the ingredients and mum said to put in baking powder, which we did. it is a shame as we made 24 muffins and a loaf and we're hungry now. mum said 'sometimes it just doesnt work - perhaps because of the weather'. what was the weather when you made the ones in the photos? did you use photoshop in the photos? it's not fair. we want nice muffins and instead we've got chunky ones that are a bit goopy.
How can one photoshop the entire process? ;) The entire process is naked here and I seriously dont recall the weather we had on that day! Its such a long while back! Baking powder is good enough since Self raising flour is nothing but all purpose with BP and salt. So that should not have been a problem. The only thing I can think of is Oven temp. Was it nicely browned? I think if it did, then probably the heat in your oVen was way more than mine since the outer surface cooked faster than the inside. Oven vary so much - next time try lowering the Oven temp and cooking longer...Hope this one helps and I am so sorry for the unsuccessful result...:( I know how that feels! --DK

Hi, Have been a casual visitor to your blog since the past week or so- was wondering if this recipe can be made eggless? We are vegetarians and I have just started experimenting with baking.....thanks...
Hi Purvi - yes you can make it eggless easily. Just increase the milk from 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups. That should do it :) -- DK

If you're interested in a highly entertaining read about fat NOT being evil, and real food being better for you, check out Michael Pollan's "In defense of food." It's a real eye opener.
Also, these are totally getting bookmarked. They look perfect for a decent nibble during the day, you're right!
