Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon crush red pepper flakes
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup plus 1 Tablespoon buttermilk or milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 17 ounces creamed corn canned
- 1/4 cup jalapeno pepper jelly or Jam
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and pepper flakes.
- Whisk together egg, buttermilk, oil and creamed corn.
- Pour liquid mixture over dry ingredients and stir lightly, using no more than 15 - 20 stroked to mix.
- Generously butter or PAM spray muffin pan.
- Fill each muffin cup 1/2 full with the batter, reserving 1/3 of the batter.
- With the back of a teaspoon, make a small depression in the center of the batter of each muffin. Drop in a meager teaspoon of the jelly.
- Divide reserved batter over the muffins to cover the jelly.
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 25 minutes, or until light golden brown.
- Let muffins rest in pan for 2 minutes. Using a knife, ease muffins out onto wire rack and let cool for 20 minutes.
Notes
I used muffin tin papers to bake these muffins. And gave them a quick spray of PAM before adding batter.
The liners should never be filled completely to the top. Fill them 2/3 of the way full to allow for the batter to rise.
Presentation Tip: Lightly dust the tops of the muffins with chili powder or paprika for a little color.
