Serve the delicious muffins for breakfast or as a side with Chili Con Carne. It’s hard to beat a light and fluffy cornbread muffin with a buttery, brown exterior. They can be enjoyed in so many ways – from breakfast to a side for Chili Con Carne.
Getting A Crispy Exterior On Cornbread Muffins
The trick to the buttery, golden crust on these corn muffins is brushing a metal pan with melted butter and heating the pan in the oven before adding the batter.
I make them semi-sweet, but you can adjust the recipe according to how you like your cornbread.
For this recipe, I recommend fine cornmeal (known in some countries as ‘Polenta Flour’). Fine cornmeal makes a much more moist and tender muffin.
It doesn’t take much butter, so I just add an extra teaspoon to the recipe. Dip a brush in the melted butter and brush it over the sections in the pan.
Place the buttered pan in the preheated oven while you mix the batter. Then add the batter to the heated, buttered pan.
How To Make Corn Muffins
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Form a well into the middle of the mixture. Add the eggs, milk, melted butter, and oil into the well of dry ingredients. Mix until combined. Divide batter into the heated, buttered pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until light golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. These muffins are served warm with butter (and maybe a little honey or jam) Erren’s Kitchen is written and produced for informational intentions only.
