Double Corn Muffins Recipe

When corn is in season, peel an ear, cut off one end, stand it up over a place, and --carefully! -- slice off the kernels with a sharp knife. If fresh corn is out of season, frozen works fine. Just thaw it first.

 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup nonfat buttermilk

1/2 cup evaporated skim milk

1/4 cup egg substitute (or 1 large egg, beaten)

3 tablespoons stick margarine (or butter), melted

1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen, thawed

vegetable cooking spray

 

Method:

Preheat oven to 400o. Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; mix well. Process buttermilk, evaporated skim milk, egg substitute, and margarine in an electric blender until combined; add corn and pulse until corn mixture is coarsely pureed.

 

Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray; divide batter evenly among cups. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes; remove from pan and serve warm.

 

Note: To make cornbread, pour batter into a 9-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400o for 18 to 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
