I’m not a big fan of cornbread. I always think it’s going to taste better than it does. But I want to give this recipe a try, rather than the dated and decent recipes from Joy Of Cooking.
The recipe is from Mesa Grill (Bobby Flay).
Blue and Yellow Corn Muffins
6 tbsp unsalted butter
0.5c finely diced red onion
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1.33c whole milk
4 large eggs
2 tbsp honey
0.5c finely diced bell pepper
2 jalapeño chiles, finely diced
0.5c corn kernels, fresh/thawed
2 tbsp. cilantro
1c. yellow cornmeal (masa)
1c. blue cornmeal
1.5c. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
0.5 tsp. baking soda
4 tsp. kosher salt
Non-stick cooking spray
- Preheat oven to 400F. Grease muffin pan with cooking spray.
- In saucepan melt butter, add onion (cook 3-4 mins) then garlic (cook 30 seconds) over medium heat. Divide mixture between 2 bowls.
- In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, honey, peppers, corn, cilantro. Add half to each of the 2 bowls with the onion.
- Put blue and yellow masa in separate bowls. To each, add 2/3c flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, 0.25 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp salt. Mix each masa mix into separate bowls with liquid.
- Pour equal amounts yellow and blue batter into each muffin, bake about 16 mins.
