Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears of corn or frozen, thawed)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob and dry them with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat a dry, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and roast the corn kernels for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they develop a slight char and are fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and egg. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the roasted corn kernels, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair beautifully with honey butter or as a side to soups and stews.
