Quick Corn Muffins (From Scratch) image

I adapted this recipe borrowing a recommendation from a reviewer on the Family Fun site. She prepared the batter substituting three quarter cup of cake flour for all purpose. She also substituted one quarter cup honey for granulated. Because I was baking these muffins for very young children I did not test the recipe with honey however the sugar was reduced to a scant one quarter cup. Highly received by all! Enjoyed with a slather of butter! From family.com.

Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup unbleached flour
3/4 cup cake flour
1 cup fine yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup unbleached cane sugar (I used 1/4 cup sugar)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk (I used sour milk or buttermilk will work, too.)
1/3 cup oil (safflower for us)
1 egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400° and butter 12 regular-size or 6 jumbo muffin cups.
  • Combine the standard flour, cake flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt mix in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small bowl combine the milk and oil. Whisk in the egg.
  • Make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour in the liquid mixture and stir just until smooth; do not overmix. Tip: I have found it much easier to use a wire whisk to mix the batter.
  • Spoon the batter into the buttered muffin cups.
  • Bake the muffins on the center oven rack until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes for regular muffins or 20 to 25 minutes for jumbo muffins.
  • Serve immediately fresh out of the oven!
