Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 0.75 cups Sweet corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and let it cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the crumbled bacon, corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a savory snack, or pair with soup or salad for a delicious meal.
